Hirobo XRB

[Davey Boy]

Hi,
After a few years of flying fixed wing I've just bought a Hirobo XRB indoor
electric helicopter. The heli seems to be trimmed well and it can hover by
itself without stick input for some seconds. However, when I push the stick
forward to fly forward the heli doesn't fly straight, it veers left. If
it's trimmed up to hover, why does it veer left in forward motion?

Thanks,

D.

It banks left, the nolse continues to point forward. If I trim so that it
flies straight, it moves right in the hover (nose continues to point
forward). If I trim so that it hovers over a point, it banks left when the
heli moves forward; I have to give it right (elevator) stick so that it
moves forward in a straight line. If I can't cure it I suppose I should
trim somewhere in the middle?

Sorry. Did you spot my deliberate mistake? I meant (aileron) not
(elevater),

do both servos move when you apply forward ? I have not flown one but
looking at photos one servo controls the for and aft the other left
right cyclic ?

[Davey Boy]

Only the one servo moves. I'm wondering now, could it be caused by airflow
from the ventilation in our house?

most of these types are affected by drafts but is it always the same way
it banks going forward?

[Davey Boy]

Yes, always left.
