Won't take off: Any ideas?
1562525
READ BEFORE DIAGNOSING A BAD BATTERY!!! I just received this item today and loved it my first 3 flights. I charged it back up, and then it wouldn't take off all the sudden. I immediately thought it was the battery not being charged enough and this thread made me think that even more. BUT, the more I tried to make it work I noticed the top rotor moved slower and slower. If you can pull the top rotor off without loosening screws, you've found the issue! There are two screws in the sides of the top rotor that tighten on the center pin that spins it. I tightened these and my entire issue was resolved, and I had IDENTICAL symptoms as the people above. Happy troubleshooting!

supposedly it comes off very easily when u take off the cover,i cant get it off either ,maybe if u turn it and twist it it should lift off because it does lock down in there when you put it back on

hold the silver rim (near the top) and turn to the right (clockwise) and lift off. it's kind of counter-intuitive since the tendency is to turn it in the other direction. I had trouble too.

Have you tried adjusting air pressure? Are you riveting from a down position verses sideways or upside down. It won't collect rivets from a down position which can get stuck. You can try a little oil as well. Hope this helps :)

I do not have a answer. I never tried stopping ,ejecting then resume. Pause is all I've done

I am no expert, but I would suggest that you try adjusting where you have attached the hammock to the chain that is attached to the frame. It sounds to me like you have it too tight. Try moving the caribiner down on each chain a few rungs. Give it some slack. Hope that helps.

Hey Calvin, I have had the same issue, so no help here, and it won't air up my air bags over 40#'s.

We had the same issue, but the top section didn't come all the way out. It stopped just past the "stop here" line (okay, it was our fault). You could not twist it to lock or unlock it, nor pull it in or out - it was just plane stuck. My wife and I finally got at each end and pulled as hard as we could. The top part popped off and we were able to then put it back together. We have been very careful ever since to not let that happen again. We now like these poles!

No sorry. Not that I know of. There really is no way of stopping it from doing so. I am having that problem all of my seats.

Sorry you are having that problem ! Ours moves just fine with no hitches: both forward to show downward toward the operator. Turning it up toward the a ceiling is no problem either! Must be something worng...

I have the same issue. It is just one of those things you're going to have to deal with. You can try maybe looking at the owners manual but I have never seen anything for it. Sorry I couldn't help!

Do or do not there is no try! Sorry all i can tell you is keep working it until it goes on, that's what i did, a few curse words might help :)

We have actually had it go off sooner than 15 seconds. I believe it is looking for absolutely no motion --- even breathing or panting will delay the response.

I have not been able to take my mount off. Seems like it's kind of stuck there.

Try tucking it in a corner, if that doesn't work, use those 3m velcro strips to secure the base. I lodged the cord under a hutch foot, so it didn't move.

OMG I have this exact same problem. I thought it was something I did "wrong".Yes I keep tripping over it and it has become a hazard, such as when carrying hot liquids for example.And annoying to boot.

Just release the air as instructed. It may take a couple of tries to get it. It took me a couple of tries and now it's fine.
