Blade CX2 constantly yawing to the left

[brizzybreech]

Hello,

I'm a first time heli user, and I bougt the CX2.

I'm trying to learn to fly it, but I'm having a problem. Even with full-right trim, the helicopter yaws gradually to the left..

What is going on? How can I fix this?

Thanks for any help.

In your user manual it should explain how to adjust the gain on the 4 in 1 mixer on the heli. make sure that before you do any adjustments you set the trim back to the center. Adjust the gain a little at a time until it hovers with no tail wandering. use the trim on the controller to fine tune.

try adjusting the "trimmer pot" page 32 in my manual. this directly adjusts the yaw. you will have to unplug the battery before adjustments. turn the pot clockwise if the nose turns left. counter clockwise if right. then plug it in and try hovering. do this till its as close as possible. it will always yaw just a bit one way or the other. but, you should be able to get it pretty close to zero.

I feel your pain! When I first started with my CX2 I was frustrated with rudder drift. I put it on the shelf for a month then started flying it again. You will learn what works with with adjusting the trim pot and transmitter trim. I set the pot for slight left runner so during flight it will work its way to a slight right rudder. During flight I use the transmitter trim to tweak sometimes.

Now the drift does not bother me at all. I think being new to heli flight made for some growing pains with the adjustment.

Be patient, work through the drift and you will learn from it. If you continue down heli highway, there will be greater hurtles to conquer then this so learn to enjoy the challenge.
