Default Thingy not lifting off the ground.

I have a thingy that contains doodads. The thingy's dealies will not get light on the ground when I go to full collective. What should I do / check ?

How many doodads does your heli have? Is the vroomy bit properly meshed with your whirly bit?

Make sure you use the manly hole in the programmable dingle hoopers for maximum doodad performance.

Okay the whatchamacallit seems to be setup okay as my widget turns the correct direction. My dinglehoppers only have one hole so nothing to worry about there.

maybe the whirly part doesn't have enough tippyness in it, so it isn't windy enough to the ground.

I think your thingy bearings are a we bit notchy and the doodads are out of track.

Noobsters!

Your ClamaFugs are interfering with the Doohickies. Simply Drill a hole in the watchamacallic and lengthen the doodads by 12mm.

Its a common mistake

Someone suggested using a flizzlewazzle lock to keep it from moving this way my diddlies can be setup to the correct pitch? But I also heard that the dinglehoppers have to be aligned correctly to begin with?

The barfletuber is dripping the correct amount when the vroomy is at full power.
