Status: offline 		Where should I put my trim at for the throttle? Sometimes, I can't get it to hover at a steady altitude. It's either too much or too little throttle. They should have made the throttle stick glide smooth instead of geartooth style. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
EM

I did this and it works great, fuel tubing also works well, or just whatever you have to put around it.

Sounds like I can really have more control especially when coming down and setting the heli on the pad close to me

Sometimes the throttle is just over or below that notch.
