Defective, or do I simply not know what I'm doing?

Hi there,

Just got my honeybee... Here's what I've done so far:

1- Plugged the battery into the charger. Waited a while until the blinking orange light turned solid which is supposed to indicate the battery is charged, or somethuing like that. Can't remember for sure now but it was in the manual and I did it like it told me to.

2- Turned on the remote, batteries are good and the LEDs show me as much.

3- Plugged the battery into the helicopter

4- No joy.

The throttle seems to do nothing and the rotors don't turn.

However, the right joystick DOES WORK and seems to control the servos properly, so SOMETHING is working.

When I plug the battery in the helicopter, the light blinks red, green for a second, and then blinks red again.



Any ideas? Is the transmitter bad, or maybe the controller? Or am I doing something terribly wrong?

Thanks!

Make sure you throttle is closed and the throttle trim is all the way down.

check the idle up switch, should be to the back.

The idel up is a good place to start, on a blade cp that is what it would do if u had it in (stunt) mode with the switch in the forward position u need to put throtle down and flip idel up switch to the (idel up) switch facing the back of the transmiter. Then when u are up to half throtle u can switch to stunt mode.
