I had some problem with the helicopter NOT lifting off the ground (could only lift about 20cm). Checked everything I could and dismantled the blades, all the control linkages. Still no lift.
So I changed the motor thinking this had warn out. Still no improvement.
In the end I decided it had to be something to do with the electronics. I checked the receiver and moved the adjustment for mixing the tail motor to rotor control (added more to the rotor). This fixed the problem. So I can only assume that with the small crashes the electronic's some how needed re-adjustment. So now it lifts again.
NEW SKIDS
I have been practicing and finally have progressed to flying without the trainer's.
The original skids are weak and kept breaking. I have made my own slids to suit the Walkera 4g1.
I have taken skids from the Walkera 1#A and made them wider by spreading the legs using a heat gun. The 1#A skids are shorter than the 4G1. I have added an adapter made from 5cm round plastic water pipe. I cut two pieces and reshaped them with the heat gun (from a circle to a more rectangle shape). They needed to be wide enough to allow the battery to easily slide into the battery holder.
Now I have much stronger skids than before. (see photos).

That seems counter intuitive, you gave more to the rotor and that gave you more lift. This is why I don't fly helicopters.
