Default No lift(after long headache) 450 Clone

Ok, I am "new" as far as flying goes. I decided to get a RC Heli some 5+ years ago, never learned to hover, crashed mostly, well I got a new frame(aftermarket), servos, and other misc pieces, and didnt really know much, but got it all together finally, recently after taking a break. Now after fighting with this, and that to get it perfect, atleast I thought it was perfect, it will not take off. The blades are all spinning the correct way, the battery is freshly charged and 4.2v on each cell. What should I check first(I am almost at my wits end with this thing)? The swash to make sure its level? Im just looking for some insight, before I go tearing it all down again, and go insane.


Also what makes a "brand" a brand as far as helicopters go? The frame? I never know what to call mine, it started as an Esky Belt CP V1, and now all thats left of the ESKY is RX/TX, motor, and head.
