Searched but I could not find how to fix my v3 from always banking left. What do I need to do? is there a post I can refer to for common heli issues and repairs?

thx again ...

Status: offline 		+1 on druss' comment...keep in mind that most rc heli main rotor blades turn clockwise (while you're standing above it, nose forward)...therefore, the nose of the heli wants to turn counter-clockwise (one of newton's laws of motion)...the tail rotor pushes against the tail boom to resist the counter-clockwise turn...in doing that, it also blows the entire airframe to the left, resulting in a left lean...so what you're experiencing is quite normal...sorry for the technical response...just wanted to chime in...i've been outa micro-helis lately, doing giant scale, nitro helis, etc. also got a palm pre smartphone recently, and playing with that a lot...good luck, and have fun...ken

Status: offline 		Like Ken stated the tail rotors will want to push the heli left but this is really only prominent during take off. once you're more than 4'-6' in the air the issue should really disappear.

If you haven't gotten it at least 6' up then you're always going to be seeing this problem.
