I'm sure this has been addressed before so if you could direct me to the right area please. I have the Blade CP and I am running it stock right out of the box. I have'nt got it off the ground yet. It has enough power to just glide along the ground. I checked the batteries with a multimeter and they are charged. I am giving it full throttle and my right control is pretty much in the middle. What am I doing wrong????

I just got mine too. I have only experimented with it. Do you have training gear on it? I do and it makes it quite heavier. I am no heli pilot by any means, very new. I fly planes almost every day, and wanted to get into this. Great buy this BladeCP is... Let us know what you find out.

Yes I do have the training balls. Can you put the plate that they are connected to on upside down? Mine slightly go up.

The swashplate goes down when the stick is pushed up as it should.

Dont try to lift up till u get this fixed!!!!! It could be a sticky collective and when u least expect it it will lift up.First check if u get pitch on your blades by doing the thing i just told u to do if u do get pitch make sure all your linkages are smooth do all of them by hand to make sure they are smooth.Dont do it till they are so loose they fall of just enough to move nicely.Go ahead and check your fly bar by holding on paddle and moving it up and down it should be really easy to move if not use needle nose pliers and while your link is on give it a squeeze lightly on both on the top till they are easy to move do the same for all your linkages like the ones that go from your see saw to your blades and the lower one that go from the swash to your control tray.If this doesnt work let me know ill explain the other thing u can u.

Also add some light grease or 3-1 to the bushing in the swash were it meets the main shaft so it slides nicely up and down u should be able to lift up at about 2 to 3 clicks above 1/2 throttle if u need some vid of how the swash should act ill make u one right now i have no sound so you will have to ask questions

That would be super. It feels like the linkages are moving smoothly. I am waiting for my batteries to recharge. And if you could send that video I would appreciate that.

im sorry for the movement being so fast but i only have 20secs to work with after i put the stick at 2 clicks up from half throttle pause the vid when u see both blades u will see the amount of pitch there from there i will go to full throttle to zero throttle u can see the pitch.U can adjust how much pitch u get from stick input by adj the PLT knob to the + thats what controls the pitch with throttle input. PZT is for fixed pitch u will have to have some pitch before the ccmp engages so it dont jump up on u.Take it slow with your heli and dont get to high up till u can control it.Here is the vids http://media.putfile.com/swash-2 http://media.putfile.com/Swash32. Have u whent thru Rad's school of flight yet?

My blades move like yours. I think you may have more pitch than me. Do you think I should increase the throtle trim for more pitch?

Found my problem.I was giving full collective trim then full throttle. Instead I gave it partial power then 1/2 collective trim and then 3/4 throttle and it hovered great. I sure do appreciate your help Nitro. You're a great asset to the forum.
