are your blades spinning clockwise with the leading (rounded) edge moving forward?

OK. Does anyone know where does each servo goes ?
Clean,
On my 4 in 1 on a regular Blade CP the following is hooked up.
1 = Back Right Aileron (Right side of left&right cyclic)
2 = Front Servo by Motor (for aft cyclic)
6 = Back Left Aileron(Left side of left&right cyclic)
Hope that makes sense.

Incidentally, if you hold your flybar level (the thing perpendicular to the blades) then BOTH blades should pitch up and down when you move your throttle/collective stick. If only one blade is moving there's a linkage problem.

Thank you. =)

Can that be fixed ?

What is what ? And what do they do ?

The left pot is gyro gain. Turn it up until the tail starts wagging in flight, and then back off a bit.
The right pot is "proportional". I believe it governs how much tail rotor is mixed in with collective.
The LED gives an indication of current draw. I think it generally runs green, and goes red at high current draw (full collective)

I'm sorry, I don't understand the question. Is you heli not behaving as described? If not, what is it doing?

My heli kinda jumps and doesn't fly.
Can that thing be lowered because when I connect the battery it jumps really high. >>>

See the attached pics (click on pics to enlarge). I think this is the same head you have. Everything on the head should be completely symmetric (i.e. both blade grips have a ball link that connects to the arm above in an identical way. Looking at the head from this angle will be EXACTLY like looking at it rotated 180 degrees).
As far as the heli jumping, I found that mine flew FAR better when I moved the pushrods to the innermost hole on each servo arm. You should definitely give that a try.
On the attached photos, both balls marked "A" are attached to the ball on the respective blade grip. The balls on the blade grip go on the trailing edge of the blade.
The balls marked with a "B" are attached with the longer links to the swash-plate.
"C" marks the pivot points of the arms.
I think if you make sure your head is complete, symmetrical, and looks like this one, you'll find that both blades will increase pitch when you increase collective and hold the flybar level. When you move the right stick fore-aft or side to side you'll find that one blade will increase pitch while the other decreases pitch.
EDIT
Going back to compare your pic with mine, it looks like you're missing the links that go from the balls marked "B" to the swash-plate. That will make your heli pretty much un-flyable. Get those links in place, move your pushrods to the inside holes on the servos, and you'll be flying 3D in no time.

Is that a blade cp on the pics ? It doesnt look like my at all. :( :?

Yea that doesnt look like my blade at all.
