Hey guys,,got a problem,,,i put those new black plastic blades on my bird and adjusted to 0 pitch at center then when i was flying it seemed really loud i couldnt tell if the noise was coming from the new blades or my engine,,but then i noticed the bird only stayed in the air for about a minute before the battery was dead,,not sure if my engine is blown or what..

Have you tried other batteries? by dead you mean needs charged or wont charge now?

ya i tried 2 charged batterys,,,it just comes to the groung like the battery is dead.

It's probably the blades. I got a set of E-Flite Blades and they were out of balance and, even after balancing, did run smooth at all. Check your blade tracking too.

Killing the battery in only a minute isn't right, there may be something else wrong too.

ya thats why i was wondering if my motor might be blown,but how would i tell.
