RE: radds?

It might seem...

RE: Caught On Video: CP Pro Electrical Glitches, New Vids Posted

I had the same problem once and it turned out to be one servo that was bad. When you move the right control around with the motor unplugged, watch the servos very closely and you will see one twitch....

RE: Hovering the CP PRO?

It sounds like the the swash plate is not 100% level in all directions. Also make sure sure that the trim settings on the radio are centered. It should lift fairly straight up in the air. The other...

RE: CP Pro main rotor Runaway

I had a similar problem with my new CP Pro, when I shut it down, the main rotor would fire up to full RPM's 3 or 4 times before I could get to it and unplug it. I anchored it down to a heavy board...

RE: Hello and Thankyou all

The most important thing to do with your heli pompyjohn is to make sure that the swash plate is 100% level on all sides. What I do is put it on my pool table, which is perfectly level and use a level...

RE: Interesting observation

Yes it was right from the warm house to the cold. By the way, I'm so glad that I made the decision to by the BCPP and not a lesser heli. It has bee tough to learn but following RADD's and not jumping...

RE: Interesting observation

Well I tried it again tonight with a full battery and about the same air temperature and sure enough it took more power to get the heli to hover.

I took my CPP outside this afternoon for the first time because there was no wind and no snow on the driveway. Anyway, I had to get it up to about 90% throttle just to get it to hover. I could only...

RE: Help with lift off ??

I had the same problem and figured out the my battery wasn't fully charged. Did you by chance run it down too long last time you were flying?

RE: How many people with servo problems?

Good one Scidoc. It is always worth a phonecall or an email. They sent me out a replacement charge back in January based on a phone conversation.

RE: Li-Po on Blade CP/CP Pro

Personally, I would stick to the rule of thumb that when the Heli starts to slow down, shut it down and charge it up. This way you know that you are not running the battery down to far.
