I have not flown my heli for a while as I have been repairing it as & when I can. (time & money!)
Last night I tried to adjust for pitch on the main blades. But this time I noticed that my idle- up switch made no difference to the pitch at all. Normally when you flick the switch back off, the pitch also changes.
To adjust for pitch I use Nutcaze’s video on the below link.

I disconnect the cables to the motor from the ESC.
All trimmer switches to the middle, except for the throttle, which is all the way down.
Tx on
Battery on
Idle-up switch on
Throttle half on
Adjust for 0 degrees pitch on both main blades, when done.
Idle-up switch off, throttle all the way down.
Check the pitch again.
When I reduce the throttle the pitch does change as usual, just not the Idle-up switch.
The red light on the Gyro does turn off when I put the Idle-up switch on.
I also noticed on Nutcaze’s video that his servos seem to hold his main blades up when he let’s go of them. Mine fall down with the pitch gauge attached unlike his.
I have checked the servos for any stiffness or clicks etc, there fine!
I really hope someone does not say that the 4 in 1 has blown.
I have already blown that on my new HBFP 2 this week.
Any suggestions welcome

P.S
The main blades have 0 degrees pitch with the Idle-up switch on and throttle half way, but not when I put the throttle and Idle-up switch back off. It's not normally a problem!
Also it has a new fly bar, main shaft & feathering shaft & the mainblades are dynamically balanced.
Thanks
