View Full Version : Crooked Blade Grips after Crash

Excuse my rookie lingo.

I crashed my CP Pro and it seems to have bent or broken a non obvious part of the main rotor alignment. The blade grips for the main blades seem to pop either up or down but never align straight/flat. Basically if I 'bump' the blades up it makes a small V or bump them down and it's shaped live an upside down V. Essentially my main blades never seem to be flat horizontally from end to end.

Here are some pictures I took to attempt to show the issue.

This probably shows the issue best:

I appreciate any help!

Thanks

Carl is correct. You have a bent spindle. You can buy a stainless steel version that is alot stronger.
