My neighbor is always picking up toys like that. The helo wasn't too bad once you got the trim right on the rear prop. Still, not my thing.

Now he's got a nitro powered Traxxas truck that is absolutely crazy.

Whats the problem? Is it a single rotor or a co-axial one? If its a single, is it turning left or right and the trim doesn't help? I mean turning while flying forward, not spinning in circles?Lightly twist the tail rotor. I can't remember if its up or down but it will help counteract the torque so you can fine tune it with the trim button. Try twisting it one way. If its worse, twist it the other way.

This site is fantastic for help: http://www.rcgroups.com/micro-rtf-420/

In my experience, Airhogs are kind of cheesy. Do yourself a favor and get a hobby grade bird. Blade has some really nice copters. (CX, CX2, MCX).

No, this is not a canoe I promise. I've been goofing around with RC since I was a kid. Just giving my two cents.

But $99.00+ Vs. $15 is a hard pill to swallow.
