This is your brand new 4-in-1 you waited for, right? You're posting this in the wrong thread, but, hey, old guys are allowed to do this once in a while!

Mike, I would contact the place that sent you the 4 in 1 unit, and tell them the unit is not working correctly. Tell them there is something loose inside, and the helicopter spins wildly sometimes cw, and sometimes ccw. It could be the gyro as E2 mentioned, or the mixer is bad, but a new unit should not have these problems.

That metal cover may possibly act as a ground for the gyro circuit. Like Erd said, they prolly didn't just put it on there for nothin. It was flying fine? Then a 20' drop? And now you have a floating metal piece? See if you can open it up, and re-install the cover. Lee

Metal covers are for radio interference protection. I have never seen a gyro without a metal cover so it is a must. Replace the cover carefully and put a couple of drops of glue along the edged to hold it.

Returning the 4in1 after a crash and claiming that it was that way when you received it is the WRONG thing to do. You damaged the part, it sucks that it's not working properly, but it wasn't damaged when you received it so returning it would be fraud.
As far as things go it sounds to me like one of your brushes is rattling around inside one of your motors and it's causing it to draw way too many amps. I'd test it out with a new set of motors before I assumed the 4in1 is bad. Edit: Forgot to add that considering Horizon Hobby's warranty, I would call them up and tell them what happened. They might send you a new unit for free, you never can tell. |

Hey guys, firstly I apologise if this is in the wrong thread or if a similar question has already been answered elsewhere but I wasn't sure where I should ask the following question.
I have a CX2 and a Twister Hawk (basically the same heli) and both have developed the same problem - they won't develop any lift! I have made sure the batteries are fully charge and I have checked out anything else that I can think of but haven't found the problem. I can give them full throttle but the rotors don't seem to be reaching their full speed and there is consequently not enough thrust developed to elevate either of the helicopters - they are basically fancy fans! Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks. |

What type of lower rotor head are you using? Could you post a picture of the sheared off stuff (well, actually how the rotor head looks now probably ...) |

Do you stop flying as soon as the batteries show signs of running down? As soon as you need more throttle to keep the helicopter in the air you must shut down and charge the battery. If you keep flying them untill they no longer lift off then it is too late and the batteries are toast. How old are these two helis and do you have a new unused battery you can try in them? |

What Rx are you running with your two helis? The DX6i has had known issues with throttle control with the older 4in1's.
