| Make sure that the main rotor is turning in the proper direction relative to the (+) pitch on the blades otherwise you will be actually driving the heli down toward the ground rather then lifting off.
Meaning if the motor is turning in the proper direction (check the manual) and you are getting positive pitch when you move the stick up you should get lift. But if your motor is running backwards and your pitch is still the same you will be actually getting negative pitch and therefore your heli will be forced down. On the other hand if your motor is turning in the proper direction but your pitch control on your tx is backward or reversed to what it's suppose to be you will get the same result. You should be able to see if your getting downward force from the main rotors by placing a small piece of paper on the ground by the heli and starting it up. If the paper appears to blow away there should be downward force but if the paper seems to lift up then you have negative force.
Just double check these few things to eliminate that's your problem.
I don't have any experience with electric helis but I heard this happened to someone with a nitro heli and the heli just disintergrated at full power.
Hope this helps.
