Default RE: Heli stuff and fellowship

Hi to you all!

Yesterday I had (for me) a major accomplishment.

In my last post I had asked:“When I power up the Heli, (move “B” switch away from me with the “A” switch away), it starts at about 400 or so RPM…”.

Jim said: “It should not take off 400 rpm without input from you.” 

So I took apart the transmitter and reset the potentiometer for the throttle control. Now when I power up the TX and flip “B” switch there are no blades spinning until I move the stick up.

Jim, is this next question the normal operation?

Motor off, all sticks seem to be articulating Swash Plate and rear rotor the way they should, but only one blade changes pitch with throttle movement.

If a picture will help what detail should I capture?

Thanks for the advice.

Karl
