Hello,

I am new to HeliFreak and RC Helicopters. I've been flying airplanes for 5 years, but wanted to try something different.

I bought a Blade CP Pro. I flew it stock for a long time to learn basic hovering and forward flight. I then upgraded it to brushless and added the heading hold gyro.

Finally, yesterday, when buying some new retaining pins I also thought I would try out the Carbon Fiber Blades for the heck of it.

Of the two blades, I couldn't get one of them to be the appropriate stiffness. I was very confused by this, because the wood blades you can tighten down to the correct amount.

Well, to make a long story short, I came to HeliFreak to research this problem. I ended up writing a post.

I went to take pictures to add to the post to help illustrate the problem and ... I found the answer by looking at the pictures.

Apparently, one of the nuts fell out. I happened to have something this small in the spare parts bag luckily enough.

So thanks for nothing :lol: ... Helifreak.

good choice on the cf blades, FLY OVER GRASS and you can get a few good crashes on them.. on top of the nut falling out, i had one fo the brass fittings on a blade come loose. put a small amount of ca on the inside of the blade and push the fitting in..
