check the little pin right below the spindle. It's possible you sheered that off inside the shaft and the blade assembly is just spinning freely on the shaft, randomly catching every once in a while making it look like it is working. I had that happen before and it looked like my headspeed was lower than normal and it wouldn't lift off. Just grab the little pin with a set of pliers and pull it out, if it is broken you will get a little piece and the other half will still be in there.

i seemed to be having same problems.
i am a total newb to flyin rc heli's and just got me a blade cp
crashed it twice so far.1st it appeared i only broke 1 main blade. after replacing it , i noticed 1 of my main grips had more play ( or wobble) then the other. after my 2nd crash i broke the spindle, no blade damage this time( center hub and spindle set is cheaper). also after 2nd crash i had to push my retaining pin back so it was centered, it was slightly out of 1 side more than the other.then got parts to repair my spindle.
now im havin the no lift problem, its late now, but gonna check out the pin and make sure it isnt broke. i will post my results after i mess with it tomarrow, hope this helps

I had that same problem... someone told me to buy a pitch gauge from my LHS and check the pitch.... well my pitch was way off and I fixed it and it works fine. I also sheered the retaining pin on the main shaft so I got rid of the flimsy pin and put a retaining clip that held my r/c car shell on. Clip was way stronger. Clip was a little thicker but my drumel took care of that.

i check my pin, it was bent a lil but not broke or damage enough to cause skipping. it could easily b a pitch problem if not the pin.
after my 2nd crash when the spindle broke and the main blade grips poped off the pitch control link. i assembled it best i could and look at it from the side for the tracking test. the blades both seemed in line but with out the gauge to see if pitch is at correct %, im not sure.
i even messed with the pitch links, gave both blades same adjustments, increased pitch a lil and even decreased it. i tried to lift the heli after every adjustment, didnt seem to make a dif. mine at full throttle will get it to hover about 4-8 inches, mostly draggin the trainin gear with no lift. was thinkin maybe training gear was to much weight, couldnt b true considering it jumped up several feet both times i crashed it( how i lost control, being a newb and all). now im waitin on new main blades, mine have a few battle wounds. will try to mess with pitch links some more now that i know my pin is fine.
i was wondering if my swashplate maybe sticking when the blades are goin, with the motors unplugged it seem to work smoothly.
any 1 else with any other ideas why the heli is not lifting
