Default Honeybee CP2 wont take off? Pitch? Weight?

Hello, My HBCP2 won't take off at full throttle, it's barely light on it's skids. I added the aftermarket landing gear from helidirect.com, the battery monitor, and the fuse protection modification and it weights a total of 338 grams now...

Cpuld this extra weight be the problem?

I just ordered a pitch gauge and I didn't get one yet, maybe it's the pitch? Can I just keep increasing the pitch a little bit in attempt to be able to fly (before I get my pitch gauge) until I get to a point where the heli lifts off?

Thanks

You need to probably decrease the pitch. Yes weight is a major issue for the stock motor. I'm thinking of going back to the stock skids, not that I know how to fly. I don't have a battery monitor as is is unneccesary.
