please help with Blade CPP problem
 
I changed the swash plate on my Blade CPP and now it is not lifting off. Any ideas?? Thanks

You need to check your main rotor pitch. The small adjustable ball links that lead from the flybar down to the mixing arms will increase the pitch if you screw them counter clockwise. If you blades are tracking together nicely you should turn each of the two links an equal ammount. You could alternatively turn the three ball links (the three that run from each servo arm to the swashplate), clockwise again turning each link an equal ammount. Both of these actions will increase the picth of the blades.

It took me a while to come across a post that solved my problem with no lift... I had had taken off the top cap (with the big screw on the top of the rotor head) and when I put it back on I screwed it down too tightly. This meant that the fly bar couldn't move up and down like it was suppose to and volia I couldn't get enough travel of blade pitch no matter how much I turned the pitch links. Unscrew the cap, pull it up a bit, and retighten screw (but not too much). This may not be your problem but it had me stumped for too long not to mention it. Good luck.
