I just bought a CP PRO from my LHS yesterday. For about 15 years now I've always been strictly surface(8 boats, 4 cars- mostly nitro) so this is my first helicopter. Anyway got it home, charged the battery, put it on the floor, and could'nt get it to do anything. Finally I hit the IDLE UP switch on the transmitter, and the rotors started to spin pretty fast so I turned it off. I went outside thinking that I was finally ready to fly. I put it on the ground, and both servos worked fine, the tail rotor worked fine, but the main rotor would'nt spin. I tried everything, and can't get the main rotor to work, but everything else works great. I unplugged the motor for the main rotor, and tested it - it works fine. Did I smoke the 3-1 ?????? ANY HELP ???????
both servos worked fine? it has three servos you know.
how do yo know the tail was working? it start moving when you gavce throttle.
I am not sure, check your plugs going into the RX and make sure there all pluged in right.
if the one for main motor is backwards it wont do anything (dont ask how i found that out)
if the 3 in one was messed up i wouldnt think the tail motor would work.
good luck.
