Night Ranger 3D continually drifting left

[Peter_D]

Hey all,

I just stumbled across this forum and since I have been obsessed with R/C Heli's for a couple of months now I decided it was the perfect time to join.

I searched your forum already for anyone who might have had a similar problem to me with a Venom Night Ranger 3D heli but had no luck.

Basically the problem starts when I try to lift the heli off the ground (I have ensured all the trims on the remote to the middle position). Just as it gets a slight amount of air, the heli slides / drifts left (almost like I have initiated a roll to the left). I have tried to counter this by moving the trim almost fully right, however the chopper still slides left and then tips right.

I have a lot of experience on a basic chopper like the Bell Air 47 and Venom Ocean Rescue and I'm sure there are many more variables that come into play with a much more advanced Heli like the Venom 3D.

I was hoping someone might have a simple solution??

I'm keen to get it up and at least hovering!

Thanks in advance

It's just a heli thing. Rotor wash is what's pushing the heli to the left, get a foot or 2 off the ground and things will straighten out.
