I have a question on the Blade Grips. I bought a New Aluminum head for my CP pro(Found out later i could have spent the money in better areas but live and learn i guess) Anyways the Two Grips are not level with one another when everything else is. What i mean is the bar that your linkages for blade trackin hook onto are level but my blades are not one grip is pointing way skyward and the other is pretty close to level how do i fix this?
Thanks

Make sure the links are identical and that you put everything together correctly.
Maybe a picture? I'm not familiar with the Blade helis.

I think i can find one of them. I also found out that I had a Bent feathering shaft(I think thats what they are called) I found this out by taking a allen Key and turning only one side and i saw the Grips move up and down. I ended up taking the one from my Plastic Head and using it until my new one comes from Helifreak.com...I will probbaly just use this one until it too bends though. I also figured out that I needed to raise my Swashplate at the back as soon as i did this the blade grip came into alignment. Boy I tell ya Lots to learn with these Little suckers I will see if i can get a Photo for you though.
I don`t think this is a very good photo. The Head is from Microheli.com

Yes its called a feathering shaft and it will cause all manner of greif if its bent, if you do anything that causes the blades to hit the ground (or ground based object) chances are that will bend.
