Folding blades on the BLADE CP

[Hawker007]

Has anyone had a problem with the blades folding in flight as I have?, I keep tightening the blade grips but something keeps happening. As it happened again tonite(3rd time) usually doing outside loops or hard negative pitch inputs such as half rolls to inverted climbout. As I was thinking in the after math, a thought popped into my head"maybe the blades are flipping over " meaning,turning around,ie going over center?, cause when I pick up the heli at least one blade is turned 180 deg in the opposite direction. Any Idea's getting very frustrating!

I don't own a blade, but I see a lot of people with this same problem. They say just flip it back around and keep flying. I guess the plastic links bend just enough to let it flip over. You might try new links or look for aftermarket ones..
Best of luck,
Jay

I've had the same problem just a couple times, and always after a blade hits the boom (hard landings). I replaced the o-rings in the rotor head and the boom slaps have stopped and no blade inversion since either.
