HELP! 4 in 1 doesn't ever go green!
Hi. Just got my honeybee CP2 in the mail the other day. Charged up my lipo. (Granted, the instructions were totally wrong, and expected that I was using a charger different than the one I actually got). Following all instructions. Radio TX ON, Throttle and throttle trim to "off" position. Plugged in battery, 4 in 4 flashes red a few times, and then goes off. No nothing.. Tried all sorts of combinations of things. Can't seem to get it happen. Checked voltage of the lipo, looks good.
Anybody know whats up?

Receved the new 4-in-1. Works like a charm! ...
Just one problem. I can't seem to get enough oommfff out of the tail rotor. Tried turning up the 4-in-1 to compensate, Trimmed all the way to the right, and still barely counteracts the rotor while on the ground... Anybody have any ideas?

Putting trim to the right decreases the the tail thrust. Inadequate tail thrust might also mean a shot motor. But since yours is new, it leads us back to the 4-in-1.
Have you adjusted your Proportion pot yet? This mixes tail with main rotor.

Figured it out. The little rubber tube that holds the tail rotor on allowed for too much play. When i snugged it in, it spins up better, and provides more than enough thrust... On to my next problem. I'll start a new thread for that.
