Default Problems with my Blade Cx2

Need some help and opinions on my Blade Cx 2 I just replaced my Lower Rotar head and upper rotar shaft, and installed new uper and lower blades, not too bad of a fix, but now when I attempt to start a flight as soon as i throttle up speed the heli wants to lean right and not lift off the ground, I had this for about 6 months and had no problem flying it around my home and basement, just wondering if I have to make any other adjutments on the 4 in 1 control unit since i replaced a lot of the internal parts. Thanks Blade180 , [email protected]

Welcome to the group!

If it leans to the right, then it's probably not a 4 in 1 adjustment. It's probably a servo link or a seperated swash plate. Check those out and see. Your swash (what the servo's connect to) should be completely level. If it goes low to the
right side, then that is why your heli wants to take off that way. You would adjust the level of the swash with the servo links. Make sure the swash is just about centered in it's area that it can move (up and down). Also make sure that the servo arms are just about parallel to the ground. Before you do any of that though, make sure the horizontal trim on the right stick (for mode 2 controllers, the kind we use here in the US) is basically in the middle.

Hope that helps

sounds like you are pretty close to me =)

Anyways check with a multi-meter that they are about 12.6v after a full charge. If they are not, then your charger is not working correctly. Other than that, how long are your packs taking to charge? check to see that there are no shorts. How many flight hours do you have on this heli?

12.6v sounds right...for a 3 cell LiPo. The CX2 uses a 2 cell LiPo and should be around 8.5v or so after a charge.

oops, yeah, my over sight. They should be 4.2v per cell after charging, so 8.4v on a 2s (4.2v times 2 cells), and 12.6 on a 3s =)

glad someone caught that
