Status: offline 		Im new to the craft and it seems that even at full throttle my honey bee cp2 will not lift fully, but will only get light on the skids. Anyone know a way to fix this, ive been told it was the angle of the pitch, and it seems i have no clue how to get this fixed, anyone able to help me here?

Status: offline 		Do you have a pitch gauge to check what pitch your main rotors are at, at half stick? You should be in the +4-5 degree pitch range at half stick to get the heli light on the skids. If memory serves me - the Honey Bee CP and CP2 don't have adjustable throttle/pitch curves with the basic radio they come with. If that is the case, you will have to adjust your pitch manually by adjusting the push rod lengths. Don't know enough about the HB CP to give you the exact procedure.

Does the motor seem to be at full speed? The other possibility is that you are not getting enough power from the motor - just a thought.

Cheers,

Status: offline 		Disconnect ur motor then turn the transmitter on and plug the battery in.
Wait for the tail servo to initialise then put the throttle at half way,
now the blades need to be at 0 pitch (flat) use a pitch guage to get it close as possible,
put the throttle back down, unplug the battery
plug the motor back in then the battery again and now you have to get the blade tracking right then your should be right.
use the adjustable knobs on the tranmitter to give it a little more pitch, i put it at about 3 o clock on both of them to give it a lilttle more pitch so the battery last longer.
hope this helps
