My heli has tons of wing speed, but won't lift off. I suppose I need to put more angle on the blades? Does the front of the wing cutting wind need to go up about 10 degrees?

They are pretty much flat right now. Just got the heli.

I have not had much experience with heli's, but aerodynamically the blades do need to be at an angle to "climb" (if you will) in the air. :cool:

yeah just need to figure out the degree amount that is usually given.

Is this a fixed pitch heli? If it is collective pitch you should make sure there is a pitch change, I htink they recommend 10 degrees each way, but it varies depending on the bird.

It is not known to adjust the blades degree when you fly the first time!

These images are the blades spinning at 1/4 throttle.

looks like they are pitching down, but i noticed they have play in that respect.
