Default RE: E-FLIGHT BLADE CP

HI guys, I haven't flown my Blade in a while an found some horrible results. I thought I'd burn a TP 910 in the back yard by doing some hovering and messing around. I found that my Blade was bouncing up and down and the tail was way out of place. I haven't flown the Blade for quite a while and it sat on the shelf. I played with th pots on the 4-1 and came to a marginal place of comfort. I think that the dust accumulation and low voltage in the transmitter had Everything to do with it. I went from having a great flying heli to a disaster waiting to happen. #1 The gain and trim pots work together, you can't change one without effecting the other. #2 make sure you have FRESH batteries in your transmitter. I was 5 feet away and saw first hand glitching, this radio system doesn't have a powerful connection. I admit I had low voltage batts in the transmitter though! With new batts in the transmitter and the antenna routed around the skids, I have never had any problems. Time get new Batts for the trans! I think I'll lube the shafted as well with some graphite. I'm pretty sure I saw some sticking as well.

Just My Thoughts, GOD Bless,

Jay
