Default RE: Impulse Buy ......

Still no help from out there, but here`s the latest.

I left the whole thing for a few days and have just tried again ....

Ran the throttle stick down to zero and switched on the Tx . The buzzer gave a few beeps and the trim lights ran up and down etc and eventually stabilised.

Connected the Rx lipo and hey presto - after a few seconds the Tx beeped again. Must be progress.

I held the model down on the bench and gingerly opened the throttle. The lower blades only rotated, but a lot slower than I expected. I ran the throttle up and down a few times and the lower blades rotated to match. After about 30 seconds of this I disconnected the lipo and turned off the Tx.

I tried repeating the above process a couple of times, but it`s now back to stage 1 - nothing happens at all.

Surely someone out there with heli experience must have some ideas. I can`t think why only one set of blades would rotate - am I doing something wrong or is it the heli. I haven`t tried dismantling anything, it all looks so small and I wouldn`t know what to look for anyway.

Desperate for help,
