Do you have a pitch gauge? You need 5+ degrees of pitch to take off and hover. Are the blades tracking in the same plane. Are the blades spinning clockwise? Are the blades on the correct way?

As for the green light that turns red and back to green under full throttle... that's normal. It indicates a heavy load on the battery. As the charge goes down, this will happen more frequently, then not so much once charged back up.

Thanks for the info . the main rotor is turning clockwise and tail rotor is turning counter clockwise. as for the pitch no i dont have a pitch gauge . i put new blades on 6/25 the same way the olds ones came off .and i made sure that they tracking as close to each other as possible. i charged the battery tell the green light went off.
