cx2 spins
 

hi.
I've just put together a cx2 from odd bits.
when I try to take of the nose spins very fast to the left.


Any ideas as to why would be great.
thanks

I'm pretty sure you've read this before but here it is again for you.

Here are some steps to help diagnose the problem.
Note:
Lower rotors/shaft turns Left
Upper rotors/shaft turns Right

1. Check your locking screws on the upper hub and mid locking collar. Make sure that they are not slipping.
2. Check for bent shafts. Bent shafts can cause resistance in rotation.
3. Check Gear-mesh and gear teeth. Tight Gear-mesh also cause resistance, broken teeth will cause slipping.
4. Check your blades. Warped or bad blades will cause this.
5. Then reset your trim and proportional gain to the center.

Blades will cause this problem more then half the time. Make sure that you change and test different sets on the upper and lower. D@mn blades are always a trouble. Even after you check, boil, #match, balance and track they still sometimes have bad ones, and no two sets will every fly the same.

Here are some links to help you with the list above.

If it still does this then change out your bearings, if its not your bearing then change motors. I’ve heard of stock motors running over 400 flights. If you fix your problem and then your ready for more, check out this link.
