I went outside to try and hover but i couldn't get the heli in the air. I put in the full power then i moved the throttle up and the heli got really loud but it wouldn't go up. Can any one pleas tell me how or why doesn't it go up ?
Thank you.

is this an original blade CP or a PRo , is it brand new or have you had success with it before
, one common problem with the original BCP was that at the factory some
ja-brone installed the washers in the blade grips backwards , this causes stickyness in the collective . simple remove the blades , and look inside the grips , you should see a hex head screw , remove this screw , you must remove the screw from both sides ( both grips that is ) once the screw is out you should see 2 washers or is it one , hmm doesnt matter the washer that makes contact with the bearing inside the grips must be reversed in many cases , if this washer is wrong it pinches the bearing race cover and prevents it from moving smoothly . this could cause what you are describing .

Hey Clean! :)
Small question, what do you mean by "I put in the full power then I moved the throttle up..."?
By "put in full power", you mean you installed a full battery pack?
Otherwise, please explain a bit further, it sounds like you have a somewhat different setup than standard... ;)
If you plug the battery in, and after the gyro has initialised, if you move the cyclic (most likely right stick on transmitter), what happens to the swashplate?
Taking troubleshooting further: If you unplug both of your motors (note polarity before unplugging), plug battery back in, let gyro initialise, if you then move the collective (most likely left stick up/down), what happens then to the swashplate?
Cheers,
Daniel

My guess is you have no positive pitch, or very little (pitch is the angle of the blades in relation to the fly bar)

Aircraft won't lift off.
I just got done repairing my BLADE after a crash and now it won't lift off. It just gets light on the skids at full power.

Try this: Make the top short links one Full turn longer (on both sides) You may need to go 2 full turns longer :)

ok make these 2 links a bit longer. When you move angle of blades by hand You want angel of blades about even up and down angles

Well i think i know what the problem is. When i move the left stick up only one blade moves the other stays same. Ill try to take a pic later to show you.

I believe this is normal on a helicopter. When the blades aren't under load(spinning) the one with the least resistance will move and the other will stay put.
Try holding either blade and the other one should move when you give the collective(left up/down) input.

Have a look for Finless's Bob videos...
He does a *very* good job in explaining how and why to setup your transmitter to your head...

You may also need to raise the throttle trim to the top .

Start reading everything you can about your heli, in no time you will figure out what everyone is talking about! Good luck.
