I just want to thank you bdavison,

I found this thread after losing three sets of blades. After reading your thread all the way through, I went back and reset my Blade. It was was out of whack!! I had to do a lot to get it to zero. Then I found out after all that work, that my last crash bent my main rod. Now I have to wait for the parts to arrive. I am a rookie at helo flight(hence the nick), but I am having a real problem with my Blade. I hope that after I get my parts, I can finally get this thing in the air, it really hates to go UP!!!!!! However I do own a nice hovercraft...lol

Keep up the good work and thanks again for the help you gave me...I will keep you posted on how my beginning hover goes.
