FP V2 No lift

[R1stu]

anyone for that matter!

Ive rebuilt the v2 from scratch as I broke the main frame and the tail and now I dont get any lift!

I have been through the TS guide in the manual, but not sure if what they suggested is correct! I may have put it together wrong but not sure.

Here is some pics and a vid.

Cheers

are thew blades spinning in the correct direction? - clockwise.

just saw vid and they appear to be going the wrong way

Looking at your pictures and your video
Your blades are turning anticlockwise
I think you have the motor wired the wrong way
Are the blade going in the direction of the leading edge?
Try reversing the motor

Thanks! I put the motor in the other way and now she flys! (Well when I learn how lol!)

Some one did actually do that with a PIccolo YEARS ago, stuck the blades on upside down and reversed the motor then flew it about inverted underneath the Ikarus stand. There did used to be a video of it somewhere
