Take off?
 

Hey. I'm new to helicopters. When I try to lift off my Blade CP, the thing leans forward alot, making me have to compensate. It is balanced and the training gear does not affect make it lean forward. Is it supposed to do this?

Also, when I spin up and move the right stick up and down the main rotor doesn't turn only to the front or back but off to the sides as well. As well, The main shaft seems to move too. Is this normal too?

Thank you for your time,
Drew

Sounds like you need some fine tuning/proper setup time. I spent some time tweaking it the right way (not rushed) and suddenly the R/C Gods allowed me to have about 3 crashless full pack flights.


Fight the urge to slam in a pack and go. Set it up right and you will be much happier.


Crash B.:D

Thanks for the help.
I've actually spent a large amount of time assembling and tuning, but alas, I guess I had no idea what I was doing. :D

Oh well, back to the drawing board.

Thanks again,
Drew
