View Full Version : Struggling with Hummingbird

I was given a hummingbird for Christmas - Great!

One or two small problems with the kit - I seems to have been sent without
the top half of the box, so I had to go back to the shop & get a gyro & the
instructions.

Anyroad - kit built, but I'm struggling to fly it. As soon as I get it off
the ground it shoots off (normally backwards & right, but not always). It
does respond to the controls, but won't hover. I've got my radio trims full
over, but it still takes off (full left trim to counter moving right etc),
and the servo's are in the right orientation.

Is this helicopter lark really so difficult, or do I need to do some more
work on trimming the model?

Thanks
