I've got a E-flite Blade CX and while trying to fly it I advanced the throttle to about 3/4 and then the Helicopter starts to lift off the ground but when I throttle back the helicopter does not respond. Even with the throttle at idle the motor remains at 3/4. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

From one Chopper to another Chopper,
You didn't mention wheather or not you've had any crashes or not. Also, do the other controls work okay, Rudder, and all the Cyclic movements (right stick) ? Anyway, it's been a long time since I've had a Blade CX.
It could be several things. Your TX throttle pot. could be dirty. (Probably Not).
Try unplugging all the connections to the 3-in-1 or 4-in-1 controller, then replug them in for a retest.
Is it a consistent problem, does it happen every time? If so, I'm guessing that it's a bad controller.
Electrical problems are the tough ones to figure out. Good Luck and keep us posted.

There has not been any crashes. I have only try to fly this 3 times. It has happened 2 out of the 3 time so far. I quit trying after the 3rd attempt. I'll unplug everything and try again. The other controls all seem to be ok. Thanks for your input.

Power on transmitter first, all sticks in normal position and throttle down as mentioned previously. Plug the battery and do not move the helicopter until it binds properly (lights will change).
