I have seen alot of posts about this yo-yo type movement in the CP Pro now. I am starting to think that there may be a little more to it than the "Sticky Collective".
My CP Pro right out of the box has these up-downs, which I have never experienced with my regular CP. I have torn my head apart, checked bearings and such, put silicon lube on the spindle and o-rings and still have the up-downs.
Well, I braced the little heli so it would not take off under 3/4 to full throttle. I can clearly see the blades rocking towards the ground at the front of the heli and towards the tail boom at the back, as the rotors are making revolutions. I think this is exactly why I have the up-downs.
I have not crashed the heli at all, so this makes me think the head is slightly defective. Could be a bad batch of them from the plant???? There seems to be a lot of play in the head, when I push down on the blades. The only thing I can compare it to right now, is my TREX's head. This is not really a fair comparison.
Yeah my blades do the same thing.. in and out of track sorta, so im guessing thats the problem. Im just going to take my heli to the hobby shop and say "fix it please".
Br4,from your posts, it seems you may be new to flying these heli's. If so, I would add the recomendation thet you follow the Radd's School of Rotary Flight. Great lessons, aLOT less damage on the way to learning how to fly these things. Andy
I could fly the heli just fine before this happened. I didnt even crash my chopper since it flew and since this problem occured. I could easily get 30 second hovers in a 6x6 space, and at times it would be rock solid and wouldnt even move! But now i cant even lift off
So thats what im gonna do, see if the hobby shop can fix it. If not im gettin on the horn with horizon and seeing what they can do.
