I love this thing! I can get it to hover by using the left-right stick.
I tried trimming it with the trim lever but it still spins. Is there a way to change the rotors to get it to stip spinning. I tried bending the top and then bottom rotors with some success. It seems to loose the pitch setting after I crash. Is there a guide to how much pitch to give the top and bottom rotors?
I think the rotors themselves are fragile. I have allready had to tape the leading edge on several after crashes. Also had to superglue some back onto the metal rods. Is there a better material to make rotors out of? I can get thick mylar at work and it folds but doesn't crack or rip, I think I'll try curving some into the shape of the rotors and replacing the factory ones. I wonder what Petter uses for rotor material on his prototypes.

This thing rocks. I have got over 10 minutes on a battery charge so far. I think I have the latest model. Purple and green and no exposed tail wires.
Removed the canopy and moved the CG forward by moving/taping the battery more forward. Haven't done catkiller yet.

Any comments on rotor material would be great! Thanks for reading this long post!

Hello, if it's spinning clockwise, try increasing the top rotor blade pitch or decreasing the lower rotor blade pitch. If it's spinning counterclockwise, do the opposite. Do you still have the body in place? The out-of-trim condition seemed to improve on mine when I removed the body. The motors get really hot with the body in place, that can cause some trim problems too.
