Default blade CP trouble

hi guys, I was flying my blade cp today and everything was ok, but suddenly I lost control of the tail and then lost all control over the heli, it just turned around its own axis and went down very stable, nothing happened to it, but I thought that was weird, so when I tried to fly it again...I pluged in the batt and the led kept flashing green and red everytime I pluged the battery in, and the servos wont move....Im thinking hat the 4 in 1 unit is toasted, waht do you think?

I'd say your right. Did you power down before you crashed?

Unplug the 4-in-1 from the reciever and try to power it up by itself. I had the same thing happen and it was the reciever.

I did not power down before crahs, the heli went down by itself...very stable by the way I was a little impressed, anyway...I unplugged the unit and tried to move the servos but nothing, so I guess is the receiver then, but I think you have to buy all the unit right? or is there a way to replace only the receiver???

Yes, the reciever is an off the shelf item. I replaced mine with a JR 610 and am now running the Blade off my 9303.

Something else I have learned about the OEM equipment for this little guy.......

Some of the transmitters will still show green battery indicator lights, but the batteries are in fact too low to fly with...... in other words simply try putting new batteries in the TX

Thanks Jeff. That's another reason I hooked into my 9303.
