Beginners First Flight

Hay guys... I just put together my new ECO 8 from Ikarus I followed directions to the "T" but when I full throttle up to lift off, it wont get off the ground.. I have it tied down, balanced my blades, checked my gears, but It still will not lift !?!?

What am I missing or where does it need calibration !?

Please help !

Thanks!

Hi,
Are the throttle settings correct on your radio?
Is the battery fully charged?
It may even be worth going over the entire heli settup again, Double checking the Pitch of the blades.
Also check that when you give it throttle the blades move to the possative and not the negative. Obviousely this all sounds basic but you would be suprised how many times I've had a good laugh about these things.

Good luck,
Regards,
Daz.

Ive got an idea.. try another button.... do u have throttle up all the way???? are ur blades installed properly?????????????

Hello,

I need somebody?s help, please!!

I just completed my new Corona 120 last week end and followed the construction to the book but as I increase the throttle with the left stick the nose continuously turns to the right. I tried to counteract the problem by using the trim but the nose still turns right and will not hold the head steady. I can counteract with the left stick (moving the head left) but once I neutralize the stick the nose begins the turn right again. I am using a Futaba 401 gyro. The gyro will hold the tail servo position but bounces tail servo back slightly after moving the left stick to each new position while in AVCS mode.

Please give me your suggestions on how to correct this problem. Or, is this enough information??
