Ok, my blade wants to start to hover then wants to lose control. My blae has been upgraded to the super skids. I replaced my plastic head with the cnc head which made it able to hover at all. I think I need to adjust my trims, bu am not sure where everything should be. I guess i'm looking for a general setup to start with.

I'd like to help, but my blade CPPPro "wants to lose control" too. That's why I have to keep flying it...
What is your experience level?
I put a basic setup in a nutshell over on the BCPP thread, it applies to the BCP too, don't know if that's what you mean by "adjust your trims"...
For a normal takeoff with the stock transmitter and a well-setup helicopter you should not need any trim at first, depending on a lot of things...
(I mean all transmitter trims set neutral/centered, except for throttle trim which should be set low)
If you can give more details about your problem someone might be able to help more.

Ok question, the above helicopter is the stock blade cp pro. I am building the cnc hdx 300 with the belt drive. Is there a big difference in the handeling with direct drive versus seperate tail motor.

That blade repair site is a good tool to use.

I was going to put it on the ceiling as a fan/smoke disperser.

Yes, the difference is that the belt-drive system has a controllable-pitch tail rotor and it will be much more responsive to your rudder inputs than the separate tail-motor types. Gyro will hold better, etc.
