Changing Blade grips
 

Well I got my Blade CP from a buddy of mine who bought it new and crashed it. I am a harcore Plane guy but I have flown a few helicopters so i am going to give this a try. Both blade grips are broken so I have a new set on the way from tower. I was taking it aprt tonight and when I tried to loosen the screws inside the blade grips the screws just spun in place and did not come out. What am I doing wrong here? Thanks for the help guys.

You have to put an allen wrench on each end then hold one side while u loosen the other. one side might have locktight on it.

forgot to add.. then you get them off tug on them good or wedge something between the hub and the grip to get it going then it will come off.

make sure you take out the bearings out of the old blade grips . and watch for the o rings in the center hub and check you feathering spindle if its bent get a new one. the spindle can bend in a bad crash good luck
