Default RE: My HoneyBee2 wont take off

Not sure its your battery.
Mine is almost new too. The first fligth I had to try turn the mainblades a couple of times
before it lifted. I turned the mainblades in what I thougt was the right angle
and then I tried. It flew. Next time I tried I had to do the same thing.
If you give it about 60% (so you can move it from left to right) throttle and then move it from
left to right on the ground you can get air under the blades and have a liftoff.
But be careful so you dont turn too much to the sides 'cause it will not respond directly.
I mean so you dont "turn" left or right fully on you tx and then after a few seconds it
will respond and go off to the side very fast.
When I managed to do so and got some air under the blades and it lifted I put it down and started "flying" normally (didnt have to
go from side to side to make it lift, just give it throttle and it flew).
But when I tried the next day I had to do the same thing over again.
