still trouble shooting!

i bought a walker a dragonfly about a month ago and i have yet to get up in the air! it either tips left or right or front or rear. i tried setting all the trims and ailerons, but it still wont stabilize in the air. to get to my point, i read in heli magazine that it would be appropriate to seek out an experienced pilot and ask for their supervision on beginners learning how to fly r/c helicopters. im posting this to find out if any expirenced pilots would help me with my helicopter? i live in columbus,ga and if anybody lives in the area or in the state of ga, i will come out to meet you. my email is "enigmahaqer78@yahoo.com". thank you!

Re: still trouble shooting!

I fear there is no easy answer here,

These heli's do not stay in any one place. They will NOT LIFT AND STAY STILL. You have to learn to anticapate there behaveyour and apply corrections for them to hover.

It is perfectly normal for the heli to tilt and move in all sorts of directions when you lift them up or even just get them light on the skids. You have to control what it is doing. This will come in time, But you can make things easy on yourself by purchasing a flight simulator for RC aircraft. Get it on your PC and practice practice.

sorry there aint a magic answer. It really is down to learning to control these wonderfull things.

Regards
Darren.
