Rafael23cc,

i'm just saying that if you have replaced or ensured that every other part in a system is good. then the only thing left is to replace the blades. i not saying this is the first thing to do but last resort.
I tend to agree with you there, just pointing out that the "blade option" was kicked around before and apparently dismissed.

ok, reread the entire post again. ??Could the Mavrick ''wide'' blades be generating more lift at a lower degree of pitch verses the set of blades previously used, thus causing the heli to become ''lighter'' at a lower rpm, not enough for flight, but enough to get it light on the skids and allow the tail rotor to push the heli left?? what i am getting at is there is now a different (brand and type) blades installed and that the standard setup might not work.. you may have to try something different with set up.
You could have a point there. Wide chord blades do behave differently in flight.
