Default RE: E-FLIGHT BLADE CP

I had a strange "glitch" this AM. Hovering about 18 inces up, the motors stopped and the controls went hard-over left. The plane had not been crashed and the only damage has been to the plastic coating over the blades from hitting some leaves and stick which were on the driveway.

The bird was undamaged by the mishap, and when I reconnected the battery, the problem was still there...hard-over (full left roll) and neither motor active. Brought it inside, tried again, problem persisted. Waited an hour, problem gone. Flew again this afternoon without any problems. I did some fine-tuning on the gyro pots. My first heli experience (except for the glitching) has gone WAY better than I had even hoped it could.

Having fun with this little bird.

Enjoying the postings here.

Robert.

PS: Can anyone post some links to some videos of some "aggressive" flying? Thanks!
