so when you fly your dad's it works real well, but when you fly yours it's all over the place? What are the differences in setups? batteries, skids, blades, cp vs cp pro, tail, trim, balacing, ect?

Also when you mean all over the place, are you talking more yaw, roll, pitch, or collective?

Do you by chance have a vid of what kind of flight you are talking about?

really everything is the same... balences just a touch nose as it should... bolth blades are symetrical. even when i ran the stock blades nothing happend, still rocking all over the place. prety much i mean its "collective" jar. i can try and get a video up within a few days. we broke the boom today so we have to fix it first. well to clairify things the heil is my buddys.. ill have him sign up so he can take it fomr here.
thanks--

hmm... just a thought, you said ur dad's cp is rock solid, do you mean you flying ur dad's cp or your dad flying his cp?:D

has yours been crashed? make sure your flybar and paddles are straight. Make sure your blades are snug, but not too tight. Also check that your feathering shaft is not bent.

That could be a lot of things, really. I would first check that the pitch is set correctly. I would then look at all the linkages, see if something is loose or too tight, if all three servos have missing teeth, if the swash plate is sliding well on the main shaft, and many other things that would take a long time to explain. Have a look at those sites :
