you need to turn the 4 in 1 off each time you make a proportional adjustment. i had the same issue. the heli would spin clock-wise and the trim didn't stop it. the proportional did nothing. there's another post about this topic. anyway, un-plug the battery, make a small adjustment then plug it back in, continue until your happy

I never changed blades by the pair. Only the broken one.
Never had a problem and never wasted a perfectly good blade.

someone somewhere here explained that for each package of blades, they come as two sets that are balanced, mix them up obviously and they won't match... something about each set is numbered, but I haven't found those numbers yet...


I didn't know, so I checked it out, four blades in a package, with a combination of two of them, they were not close to being balanced (they actually were more vertical because of the weight of one blade than horizontal), I switched a single blade and the set was balanced pretty close to right...


oh yeah, I had been changing blades singly, once in a while I had a match that just wouldn't do anything except wreck...

yeah I know but I heard that something else could be better
Like heat sink compound with something else ..
I also cutted my canopy it may not be beautiful , but it has advantages :
-motors are cooling fast
-don,t need to take out the canopy to play in the 4n1
-can touch your engine to see if they're hot
take a look at my heli !![8D]

Remove those training balls[X(] The heli will respond better, BUT only after you feel comfortable with the handling It won't take long to get the feel but it is great without the training gear
Go slow you will enjoy the product

The blades have linkage balls on them.
The blades lock together without screws, if you are gentle with them – or put the screws in.
Be happy.
Lock two blades together. Get a couple of soup cans and set them side by side spaced so you can put the balls of the blades on the rim of the cans. The blades will balance on the edges of the cans (or glasses or steak knives or whatever). If one end of the blade assembly is light, add a strip of tape to the underside and smooth it out completely so it doesn’t mess up the aerodynamics of the blade. Keep adding lengths of tape until the two blades sit level. I use packing tape in 3/8” wide strips near the outer end of the blades. Scared of tape? Stuck-on peanut butter works. So do boogers. But tape is smoother.
