Default RE: Blade CX3 problems Help!

Sounds like you separated the swashplate, and/or possibly jammed it up or down on the outer shaft. It should be level. If it isn't try to see if it slips freely when you attempt to move it up or down. It comes in two pieces and normally they are flush with each other. If it is separated, you can sometimes press it back together with your fingers or gently with needle nose pliers.

The fact that it's way out of trim after a crash pretty much suggests that this is the problem. I had the same thing happen to my CX2 and started adjusting trim, then the ball links only to find out that they were fine, and it was just the swashplate.

If you still are having trouble after this, or don't understand this, I suggest you call Horizon's tech service line so someone can walk you through the process over the phone. They really are good and it's worth the wait on hold. You can even leave your phone number with them and they will call you back!
