Status: offline 		I can throttle up to right before hover and the blades look tracked, but once I get off the ground they seem to get off track. Anyone got any ideas? Also, since my rebuild, she seems a bit sluggish, I cannot explain but I thought I'd throw it out there. thanks in advance.

Status: offline 		my guess is that they are slightly off track, just more noticable with the eye levelness and higher headspeed. as for the sluggishness, check your belt tension and gear mesh.

Status: offline 		When you mean check belt tension...would I have it too tight or too loose? In the meantime, I found i was missing the brass washer from the blade grip bearing assembly. I'm guessing thats it, but its now raining and cannot test it out.
thanks for the info.

Status: offline 		now that there is a good question. if its too tight i would think that it would be harder to spin, or wouldnt spin as freely, but if it were too lose i would think the tail would get uneven power and you'd have a tougher time holding it.
