belt cp crash

I never flew these before and what happened was I was not exactly familiar with remote and hit invert switch when throttle was off.That broke and took a couple teeth off main gear.I took out the main shaft and rolled it on steel flat table and was straight.Bought new gear and replaced everything and now there's a bad vibration.What else could it be causing this to shake so bad?

Re: belt cp crash

Is the helicopter supposed to shake when you start to spool the motor up.I ask questions but never get any answers.You would think that people with helis would kinda stick together and help out.It doesn't seem like that is how it is here though.

Re: belt cp crash

I give up I had asked a few questions and nobody would answer.I really totalled it now.I know nobody around here that could help me with this.I just went out to the feild it went up and was leaning back set it down real quick adjusted the trim took it off it went up shot back hit ground blew the head off of it.I give up on this s**t I could buy a real helicopter for the money I'm going to spend on this.After this repair of tail support rods on tail blades and entire head only thing good is battery and frame..

Re: belt cp crash

It's not that knowone wants to help, it's just very complicated. Your vibration could be many things. Look through some old post and you can get some idea's. You repaired the main shaft. The vibration may have been a bent feathering shaft or a blade tracking problem. You will learn a lot rebuilding these things

If you have not flown ANYTHING before you may want to start of with a co-axial or fix pitch (FP) heli or a simulation program.

Don't give up! These heli's are not easy to fly that's for shure. I am a 28 year full scale fix wing pilot and I soloed a Bell 47 once and these rc heli's kick my butt all the time!!

Re: belt cp crash

I tried flight simulator that's why I went to try to fly it again after I spent a $110 to fix it the first time less than 30 seconds of flight.Now It's going to cost even more cause the blades hit ground and snapped off the head bent all the little links and main shaft,broke new carborn fiber tail and support rods off of it,pretty much will be cheaper to go buy A new one.So this thing cost me like $400 so far now atleast another $200 too much money for 1 min of flight and less than 2ft off ground.
