Status: offline 		I just pulled the head off of my cp and replaced the o rings because I had a little wobble...Any how I put it back together and the blades are facing in the wrong direction? It just doesnt seem possible and is probably a easy fix but im lost and frustrated.

Status: offline 		oops... The best way to test this is to disconnect all linkages etc from the main hub. Taking off the flybar is helpful but I dont think necessary. If you do remove it then also remove that top screw. Then slide the top of the hub up and down on the shaft. Youll immediately notice if its too sticky

Status: offline 		lol wrong post in the wrong thread Any way...If youre blades rotate to the right when you throttle up Then the rounded part should be facing that way.. so the rounded part of the blade will be facing to the right..with rotation

Status: offline 		If you not sure how they should be then look at a picture online. Flat bottom blades should have the flat part on the bottom. I don't think you can put them on wrong as long as the flat is on the bottom.
