Just beginning to hover my CCP. I have changed out the original blades to flat bottom blades to learn to hover and I am slowly getting a handle on the CPP. I recently put in the symmetrical blades just to give them a try and at full throttle the CPP will not even get off the ground. What do I need to do to use the symmetrical blades and why is the CPP able to hover with the flat bottom versus the symmetrical blades? Thanks for your help!
Hover On!

Flat bottoms generate much higher levels of life at the same speeds.

If your are having problems lifting off with the syms you might have the following issues:

1: Your reciever armed improperly.
Correct arming procedure:
-When plugging in your helicopter make sure your TX throttle trim is set to the lowest possible setting. As well your stick should be at the lowest position.
-Once the reciever arms and goes green, move the trim back up to mid-point just below the mid-point before you hear the blades try to spin.
This will give you the full range of throttle.

2: Your blades are not at 0 pitch.
Correcting blade pitch:
- Unplug the main and tail motors from your reciever.
- Move the throttle trim on your reciever to the mid point and flip the idle up switch on.
- Move your throttle stick to the mid point.
- At this setting your blades should be at 0 pitch, if your pitch is off (your blades are tilted up or down) adjust the pitch links until they are at 0 pitch.
- Once both blades are adjusted to 0 pitch verify by swinging both blades to one side and checking that the blades are on the same line with each other.
- You should not have one blade high and one blade low.
- Reinstall everything and spool up, be sure to adjust tracking before your first official flight.

dkrob, i'm guessing you need more pitch.

Vortex05, Thanks so much for your response. Being new to the helicopter world can be a handful. I had never heard of your response on the throttle trim,
-Once the reciever arms and goes green, move the trim back up to mid-point just below the mid-point before you hear the blades try to spin.
This will give you the full range of throttle.
I had never heard or read this anywhere, is this a normal set up for the CPP? And if you don't do this are you not able to get full throttle range?

Also, again being new to all this trying to set up the pitch seems a little overwhelming in the fact that I don't want to screw anything up. In one instance, it hovers now but on the second hand I think it can hover better. I will do a lot of reading and digesting of information and try to get the pitch checked and set.

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have the G90 gyro set and the tail is rock sold.
Thanks Again.
Hover On!
