Thanks for the input Pearl and kryso. I had my heli armed and ready to go. I accidentally hit the idle up, but couldn't figure out immediately why it was acting possessed. I now have a piece of tape over it, so that it doesn't happen again. I'm getting ready to use the idle up, but I think I need more than the 3 square feet of the cellar floor that I'm using to hover. I want a little more wiggle room when I first try it. All of these repairs are making me less brave. It's way too cold and snowy out to even think about going there for many weeks yet. Wake 133... I feel your pain
