Question about first hover

I have a JR Ergo with a .46 OS Max FX engine. The heli works great. I bought it used as my first starter heli and I have a question about my first hover I did. I have prior experience with airplanes so that kinda helped me I think since I had no simulator practice or anything, but here is my question. When I tried to do a hover and stay in one place for more than a few seconds the heli would try to always rotate to the right so I had to use full trim plus move the stick to try make up the movement and I had to always counter and move the sticks to try to hover because the heli always tried to move. Is this normal or should I just be able to throttle up and basically leave the the controls alone. I got about a 3 min hover but it was all over the place. Also anyone from Ohio that knows where I can go watch some people who have experience fly so maybe I can get a visual and some pointers. There is not even a hobby shop within 35 miles from me let alone a club to join

First off to get help use this link http://www.geocities.com/cj_higdon/locator/ and to get to your second problem you are not running enough gain on your gyro and I need to know what kind of gyro it is because your gyro should prevent the spinning that you are having when you try to fly.And no you always have to make minor adjustments with the sticks to keep your heli in the air you cannot take off and not move the sticks between ground effect and torque effect and all the other things that have to be balanced you have to stay on top if it to keep it in the air.You have chosen the hardest part of RC that there is to learn it takes years to master the flight of a heli.Also if you find someone close to you when you use the link I would drive to him and get his help it would be well worth your time to have a experienced pilot look over your set up and help you tweak it out because one crash with that bird will cost you more than your road trip to have that pilot check out your heli.

The gyro is a JR G400. Thanks for the advice. The person I bought the heli off of told me it was all setup so it should not need many if any adjustments and the controller is a JR 8103 and it is already set to the heli. I know heli is the hardest air hobby to master and thats why I am trying it out. Flying an airplane seemed way to easy for me so I wanted something more advanced. I just did not know alot about or even got a chance to mess with heli's until I bought this one. I am sure I can get the hang of it in a few months or so with alot of practice, I just wanted to make sure that the heli's movement being all over the place wasn't a setup problem and it seems it was me after all

Hi,Just two things i want to put across.
Never assume that the heli is set up.Unless you have paid a shop to set it up for you.Not saying the person you bought it off was telling you a lie .
Get some time in on a simulator it will save you loads of money.
FMS is free just do a search on Google.
