Hey everyone

I am new to the RC world and like many amateurs today received a E-FLIGHT BLADE CP for Christmas.

True to its word it was easy to assemble and after reading through the manual, checking out some online sites, took it for its first test flight.

Anyway my first couple hover attempts went allright - I didn't really get it off the ground but the heli was stable and I was starting to practice using the tail rotor to move around.

Well on attempt #3 I hit the throttle a bit too much and had a crash. The crash wasn't too bad - the console was a bit damaged, the blades were chipped on the ends, and the one of the flybars was bent. I straigtened the bar fairly well and went for attempt #4. At this point I was more cautious but whenever the throttle picked up to the point the helicoptor was beginning to skid it would spin counter-clockwise (and spin faster with the more throttle i put on). Reading the manual I adjusted the appropriate main / tail rotor adjustment to correct for the excess spin but this did not appear to have any affect - or at least not enough to eliminate the left spin.

My question is do I need to order a crash kit and replace my moving parts or is this something that is out of adjustment that I can fix on my own? The flybar which was bent is straight as far as I can tell although I am sure it isn't perfect.

I appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks in advance!

Peter
