Re: New here

hi there,

Welcome

It can only go forwards if you put some weight on the nose. You'll probably find in the box it came in some sticky weights.. Put em on the nose and it'll go forward. If you dont have the box, or theres no weights in the box, the tape a couple of smallish washers to the bottom.

Good luck... Azzy

Thank you very much was looking around to get a new one but think I will just use this for awhile it can help me learn to trim ect. Dont want to go out and get a new one and wreck it so I will use this one for now.

Re: New here

I think you need to adjust that knob, If it spins one way, turn that knob a little one direction, if the spin gets better, adjust it a little more. I have one of those too, and it takes some practice to get the hang of it.
I have a honey bee fixed pitch that i am trying to fly also, that is a little more fun, but a whole lot harder. For a newbee like me anyway.
