"EC-135" Ready-To-Fly R/C Helicopter

17-3/4" main rotor diameter, 19" long, 10-1/4" tall, 15-1/2 oz. flying weight. 25% larger than the Co-Co Lama for greater stability and better performance in light winds. Helicopter can be flown indoors or outdoors. EC-135 is capable of forward flight, good for learning the skills to move up to a collective pitch helicopter. Powered with two 370 series brushed motors, the helicopter has plenty of power and the 2 cell lipo battery will give you approximately 10 minutes of flight time. Everything that is required to fly (less the 8-AA transmitter batteries), is included. Since there is no assembly, all you need to do is charge the flight battery with the included lithium safety charger, install 8-AA cells in the 4-channel 72 MHz transmitter and you are ready to fly. EC-135 includes extensive use of ball link connections for superior control. Includes second set of main rotor blades. The mixing board with gyro and speed controls is separate from the 6-channel 72 MHz radio receiver, giving you the option of changing radios with no additional modifications or using the radio for other projects. The flight battery compartment is easily accessed and changing the flight battery takes only a few seconds. Durable, easy to fly, and ready built.

I've got one of these I purchased from you about a month ago. Been meaning to write or call. It will fly sideways and backwards but not in the forward direction. Couldn't find any info on this in the manual.

What can I check or adjust?

My little eflite mcx did the same thing. I added some weight to the nose. Add just enough so it will fly forward and backward evenly. I use washers, nuts, or spare change and clear tape. You might also be able to move the battery forward before you try adding weight.

Make sure your swashplate is level first. It not adjust the linkage to make sure it is level and then make sure you can still get the trim adjusted to hover.
Then the only other thing you can do is to add more throw to the servo by moving the ball link on the servo to the outer most hole. You will need to make the hole in the arm slightly bigger.
Make sure you are doing this to the "pitch" servo.
Here is a picture of where you need to move the ball link out.
I showed a servo without the ball link on and then the other with the ball link.
I hope this helps you.
