How are you doing. The thing with the batteries i cant figure out either. When i use the stock battery and the 720 LIPO the blade does arm like it says in the book. It does the whole routine red flashes for about 10 sec, then green flashes 3 times and goes solid green. Then nothing. The thing is i dont think i fried my 4 in 1 because it works with the 1320 battery.
Anyways i have one more issue. I attempted to fly with the 1320 and one of my flat bottom blades got broke right in two pieces before the blade grip. As a result of that 2 of my training balls flew about 50 feet in the air. I am lucky the one just barely missed me.
This is my first heli and iam not sure what is wrong. My best guess would be the pitch is off with the blades that why it hit the skids but i could be wrong. Could somebody please help me out with this.
Thanks Scott
The battery thing is just plain wierd. Do you have any planes or something else to use them in? One thing I would check is the tightness of the motor pinion to the gear. It should be snug but not tight. I try to set mine so it just touches the gear. It will have a tiny bit of movement (about the width of a piece of paper, or .002"). If it's too tight the motor may be binding and the weaker battery may not have enough to spin it up.
On the blades. Make sure you balance the blades before using them. As I mentioned a while back, I haven't had a set match from the factory yet. Then set up your trims before flying. You have to do this for every set of blades. It's a pain, but it's worth it.
Bdavison has a very detailed thread to help with proper setup. Good reading. And
