Down ??? the trim you want to adj is below the throttle/pitch stick. If the tail goes left (heli goes right), then you want to move the trim tab to the left. Make sure you don't have the tail motor speed adj down to far (on the gyro/receiver).

This heli is actually a ms composit hornet x3d withouth the shaft driven tail. the head unit on this heli is one of the best out there as far as a bell hiller unit goes for a micro heli. i have a trex se and an mx400, and i have to say that this heli is actually more sesitive around the cyclic than either of the bigger ones. this is certainly not a trainer heli. but it is a very good micro heli that has great performance out of the box if you know how to use it, i have seen videos of the x3d doing moves that surprised me. tic tocs, piro flips, death spirals, and so on.

Up and running again and is the best ive seen this bird fly.I had it out today and it was awesome i had the tail problem solved i can now just let go of the left stick and fly it with my right hand with out no tail movement.The only problem i noticed was a sudden loss of power for a split second like the blade cp i wonder what it can be there was absolutely no wind out tonight.Oh well.. Ill post some new pics tomorrow in the afternoon when i get it flying again

No, im still trying to learn to hoover. So far i've been practicing in the living room. I do fine on the ground, but as soon as the balls leave the ground, it get's ugly. I can't hold it in one spot. I think if I was in a open area, I could fly it around, but im having a hell of a time trying to hoover a couple inches off the ground. I think it has alot to do with turbulance from the blades coming back at it. I'll get it sooner or later... I keep busting rotor head stuff. Waiting for the flybar see saw and control tray right now. I have gone thru a few blade grips too... not to mention im on my 3rd set of blades. LOL

i learned with out training gear and so far ive had to buy the sesaw,4 sets of blades,3 blade grips,front landing gear holder,flybar control tray and a tail boom from blade strike.I fly outside now beacause u have more room to work with.Trims is a must now im still triming it but i hate when my batterie moves beacuase it just wants to go backwards i was thinking about getting some rubber bands for the battery beacause i dont trust them rubber o-ring type things.

RE: Night Ranger 3D Gallery
Do you think I am doing it the hard way, trying to learn to hoover indoors ? Actually, I feel I have pretty decent control so far, but when I get out of shape, I cut the power, and that what gets me. I think if I was out in the open, I could stabilize and bring it down more slowly, and avoid the boom strikes. LOL Maybe it's time to go play at a baseball field, park, or something like that. I wanna fly !!! LOL

RE: Night Ranger 3D Gallery
well its kinda easy to bring it down without the balls i think.If u have good control over it and it also helps to bring it down slow.Last night i had a my tail hit the floor and the rubber that holds the tail blade came loose enough for the tail to fail it was crazy i was lucky enough to bring it down quickly with out crashing it.It did do a 360 on me though[sm=eek.gif] It was scary as hell i was about to scream black hawk down!!Well right now im waiting for my batt to charge i have 2 so i should be out for like 1/2 hr to 20 min or less i dont keep track of time i go by motor power.Ill prolly have my gf take pics tonight so i can show ya.
