Status: offline 		Have you flown before? From what I have seen and experienced it takes several hours of flight time just to learn to somewhat hover let alone actual flight. I have a MX Pro and love it. RC Helicopters just like the real ones require constant maint and adjustment. If you can be more specific I'm sure you can find more detail answers. Good Luck!

Status: offline 		I you bought it new go back through the manual and set all the servos per the manual. If you did not buy it new you can still download the manual from helimax. Make sure all your throw directions and amounts are correct. Set your tracking this will also tell you if your pitch is in the right direction. You should see Heli wanting to lift as you check this. Keep trying you will figure it out and start having alot of fun with it.

Status: offline 		go buy yourself a digital caliper and get the measurements from the book and rebuild it. This will help..

my original MX400, the servo would hang up on one of the nuts for the other servo. I filed the nut smooth, things quit hanging up and it flew great. The servo that controls the left/right swash was hanging on the nut that sits below it when it's moved up and down. (had a brainfart and can't remember names of things right now)

Status: offline 		only problem is that the manual that came with the heli dont show any measurements or anything. it just shows you how to put the thing together, and its confusing at that come it aint a good manual.

Status: offline 		try maybe heading to helimax's website, grab the download of the MX400 manual, it comes less built so has more pictures than the one for the pro...
