Default RE: E-FLIGHT BLADE CP

Okay gather around and listen to my newb-ish tail of woe!

So um the thing is (you pro pilots out there put down your drinks so you don't spew on your monitor!!), one of the flybar paddles as been twisted 90 degrees probably since the 2nd or 3rd flight. Being the total newb that I am, I just didn't notice...so as I was checking things out, looking at pics to possibly figure out the collective fix etc...and I was like whoa, these pictures don't show one twisted! Then I started thinking, duh you idiot why would they have what is basically a giant airbrake in a heli like this - so I lined up the flybars (waited for my battery to charge again all day), and boom! Perfect heli...so I spent a whole charge hovering around (well skidding/hover) - I mean I can't believe I missed that!

Ah well nothing hurt but my pride and I'm just happy to be flying! (Well practice flying, hopping anyways) Nothing wrong with this heli, except the part that connects the controller to the ground!
