Re: Blade pitch only goes from 0 to 5 max

First check your main blade tracking... Look in the book that came with you Blade cp on how to do this... Next we need to know more about your helicopter,,, did you crash it? Did it work before ,,,you did something to it? Will it hover now? At what throttle setting? Like,, 3/4 throttle will it hover??You get the idea... Are you main blades in good shape? Pitch setting can change using the setting on you radio..The trim tabs... With throttle all the way up and motor un-plug pull out battery from 4 in 1... Now do you know how to check pitch???? Fly bar has to be level first... If blade tracking is good ... You can change pitch by turning ball links one full turn out (I don't have a blade cp,, but I do own a Honey Bee cp2 they are close but not the pitch adjustments they are not the same..So ,,, I think you will be OK with one full turn out )) make the ball link longer will give you more pitch.... With full throttle setting...Really there could be a lot of things that need adjusting... It's hard to say with out seeing your helicopter....All helicopter's need something adjusted on them all the time!!

Re: Blade pitch only goes from 0 to 5 max

I know how to set the pitch

What I am saying is if it is dead balls acurate both blades at 0 pitch and run the heli static for 1 minute the 1 blade will be +2 and the other will be +8

Whe I set the blades and unplug the motor I can only go from 0 to +5 it is supposed to go to +10

Right now I need 80% throttle to get off the ground

First thing's first,,,, did you check your blade tracking???? It's a wast of time with out making your blades track (( First )) it should be in your book that came with your Blade cp...... Do you have it? Oh ,,,, all this is only good if your main blades are in good shape !!! And you only setup pitch on one of your blades!!! Then set the other blade to track at 3/4 throttle with the one you just set with pitch gage. And if by running static and then throttling down your blades change that much... You might have a ball link not centered on the ball... They some times slip off to the inside of the ball link!! Check it...
