at around 20% throttle heli spins in fast circle, never left the floor yet
jan 28..read instructions again, watched video again..still spinning wheeee!
tried adjusting tail rotor trim all the way better but still donuts
jan 29..heli started to act possessed, would not initialize sometimes, would change indicator
lights but would not move.
jan 30..started to fly on its own randomly going to 100% throttle and trying to kill me. turned
my back on it once and it took off into the ceiling broken tail rotor!
jan 31..called tower to report problem was told to call century direct
called century, spoke to antonio who told me not his problem, spoke angrily to antonio
was told to mail the 5 in 1 reciever back for testing.
feb 3.. called century to check on 5 in 1 reciever, was told it was bad we'll send you a new one!
awesome could not wait!

feb 13.. finally recieved new 5 in 1 reciever! ok
installed new reciever , plugs would not fit in hole.. circuit board was crooked trimmed
hole slightly made it fit.
it was then i realized there was no crystal in the new reciever. i had left the crystal in
the one i sent back.
feb 14.. called century told antonio the problem..he said ok
