e-E-Flite Blade CP mCX CX 400-3D > battery causing too much foward CG?

I just got my blade and strapped on the battery where it is shown in the manual. It just wants to fly foward and I even have the elevator trim all the way back and it is still not enough for it to want to nose over. Is anyone else having this problem? I'm using the stock battery.

It takes 2 seconds to check your CG - hold the heli by the flybar.

Does it hang pretty neutral or just a tad forward? Then that is not your problem.

Is your swash level when you have your AIL/ELEV trims centered and the collective all the way back? It should be. If not - maybe a servo arm is one tooth off center.

Check to be sure all servos are plugged into the proper receiver channels (I had my Blade sent back to me with one servo plugged in to the wrong channel - heli would tilt right on spool up and was unflyable until I found it.)

There are hundreds if not thousands of these flying - and you almost can't get the battery location wrong so much as to cause the problems you are describing...


PS - Good luck!
