Help! I just got a used Blade CP and have a take off question. I can apply full throttle and we are not going anywhere, just spinning blades. If I just apply a small amount of forward flight, up we go like a rocket. If I do the same thing on 1/2 throttle, little forward trim, it starts to take off just right, but if I stop the forward trim, down we come. One paddle bar was slightly off. Any suggestions? Thanks
I found I had to lengthen the blade pitch control rods (the rods that connect the blade grips to flybar control thing). I suspect they come from the factory with a bit less pitch than they need to fly properly, to keep newbies from shooting their heli to the moon the first time they spin it up.
