Default RE: axe cp thread

hey guys i got my axe cp-l in december from towers for 91 shipped. lol it was in the S&D section never opend and i guess it was because it had a cut on th eside of the box???, anyway flew it a few times inside then i hit a door jam and busted one main blad and a piece off the swash plate and a grip. Well i got the bell hiller rotor upgrade and a bunch of spare parts. well got it all back togethe and turned it all on and it started to push down into the ground and not taking off. well i rebuilt the damn thing like 3xs. got made cuz i couldnt figure it out. well science my 1/8 lst2 MT racer and my ax-10 crawler are both down waiting for parts i figure i give the axe another go. well its been like 8months science i rebuilt the heli and now i got smart... i called helimax lol. he said i know exactly what u need to do. look down the main balde towards the copter and see if the blade grip arms are on the left. if they are switch them over to the right side. And wouldnt u know damn thing now flys lol. pissed me off for so long. so yesterday i was messing around with it for the first time in forever. well after a few time inoticed that my tail just kept on going in circles.??? come ti find out my tail motor stoped working. well brought it inscide and borrowed the wifes dads voltmeter. its getting volts when the throttle is up and not when its down just like its supposed to. come to find out the + peice that goes inside the can is loose and not toutching the brushes and if i press on it works just fine. so this morning i fix it all and resoder and get it back working. which it now does. yeah. let my battery charge and im off.

now will a gyro help keep it stable while im hoovering and is it hard to wire up?
