Blade CP+ out of control
I bought a blade CP+ from my LHS, took it out of the box, charged it up, and flew it. The first 6 flights went great, no crashes or anything. Today I tun on the TX then the RX lights cycled and went to a solid green. Started out in a nice hover and all of a sudden, it went to full power and shot into then wall... It went full power all on its own, I did not have it in Idle up mode, a also had a fully charged Lipo. After the crash, I put the power back on after checking for damage, and with the throttle all the way down, not in idle up, it will randomly go from no power to full power then off again. At the same time the red light will flash then go to solid green again...then it will do the same full power to off again...
The servos are not glitching, but this is my first electric RC...I come from nitro cars and trucks. Any help would be appreciated, also my LHS is closed today so i cant call them.

RE: Blade CP+ out of control
Looks like radio interference.
The transmitter batteries that come with the kit are not very high quality. Do they have enough juice left?
Is it only the throttle, or do all the servos move on their own as well? Does the CP+ have a 3in1 or a 4in1? Can you try a different servo instead of the speed control in the 3in1 to see if it is the speed control or the radio link?
Inspect the receiver antenna carefully. Is still in one piece?
Is the transmitter antenna tightly screwed in?
Good luck

Had the same problem with my cp+. I changed out the cyrstals from my cx, and it went away. i was told I was picking up radio interference. I crashed right into a wall. bent my main shaft and spindle.

Very interesting, my cp plus is the same. I will order a new set of crystals after reading this. Mine will go from stable to crazy just like taking an interference "hit"

Make sure your transmitter antenna is screwed in and seated. I had trouble with radio glitches and came to find that my antenna was not tight where it screws into the transmitter.
