V200D03 won't lift off ground

[jwilson840]

Kind of a newbie and stepped up and got a V200D03, first flight was hovering and upon bringing it down had a blade strike that took out the main gear. Replaced it and now it won't lift off the ground at full throttle. Checked to make sure all the servos are plugged back in correctly. Not sure what else to look for. Any help would be appreciated.

From memory that's the 6channel one yeah?
#1 Does all your 3 servos on the cyclic move up and down when you throttle up and down(make sure you have throttle hold on otherwise blades will spin up)
If they do
Most likely your pitch is wrong after a blade strike so you will need a digital pitch gauge or a pitch gauge and you will have to reconfigure your pitch. To be 0 degrees at mid stick. There are threads around on how to do this, if it's your first time it will be daunting but you have to learn somewhere.. It will get easier

Thanks, the blade strike did take out one of the servos as well so you are likely right. Hard to believe such a light hit would do that much damage. Guess I am too used to my double horse 9116, while it's a little on the docile side, it can take a pretty good hit. Actually bought the V200 because I was looking for something more reactive, guess I got that.

Thanks again.

If your grips get flipped during re-assembly this happens.

I have one and it doesn't take much to take out the main gear. I think the problem is that the teeth are just too fine. The servos are very weak also and very easily damaged.
