Ok,

I ground moved my heli in circles and adjusted the gyros until it only slide left...
Then I got the heli to hover for a few seconds but it moved left pretty strongly.
I tried to adjust the Aileron Trim, 65%, and it still moves left but not as drastic....

Is there something else can adjust on the control to stop the helimovingleft.


Current settings/models:

4G6 with a wk-2602controller.

Pitch REV
PIT/PLT: 50%/50%
GyroSensitivity: 60-80%

Any advice?

Ok, maybe I am starting out with to small of a heli?
Should I get a 400 or 450 size heli? 600mm size?


If so, what would yourecommender for 100 to 200$?
6 channels.... :-)

I just looked up the 4g6, didn't realize how tiny it was! Everyone is going to tell you that bigger is better starting out, the bigger it is the more stable it is. Most people will agree that if you can afford a 600 or something that would be the best to learn with, since it's a lot easier to fly than a 400 or so, but they'll also admit the price of crashes is going to be steeper as well.

Just based on what I've seen people saying, the Trex 450 is the best heli in that size range and has good part availability. Aside from that a fair amount of people like the Blade 400 as a trainer since the price is right and replacement parts are readily available and inexpensive. I've heard the trex is noticeably more stable than the b400, I'll report on the b400 once I get mine up in the air

Awesome, thanks for the advice.
I think I will upgrade on size but keep the 4g6 on hand for next try.

Since this 4g6 is my very first, I am not sure if its my or the heli...

Ican agree that the bigger heli's are more stable. Ican also say that the blade 400 is pretty good for a trainer, and pretty simple to repair.

Desu,
Looking at a new heli, there's not much available for $100-$200. If you get your price range up to $300-$800, your options open up significantly. For under $200, you may be able to find a used RTF Belt CP. Not the best helicopter, but many people have had success with them. For the under/around $300 you could get a new Hobby King HK450 kit w/ a Spektrum DX6i radio, or possibly a used Blade 400, EXI 450, or BlueRay 450. $400-$500, you can get a new Blade 400 or AXE 400, or you might be able to find a used T-Rex 450 or Mini Titan E325. Once you start reaching the $700-$800 mark, you're looking at new T-Rex 450s and Mini Titan E325s or a used 600 size. There are a few beyond that, but they get quite expensive.

Stay away from motor driven tail CPs such as the Blade CP and AXE CP. They're in your price range, but they'll give you just as much trouble as, if not more than your 4G6. I learned that one the hard way (I've had both the AXE and the Blade).

Minimum effective size for training is the 400/450 class. The best size is 600 (50 glow), but they are a bit pricey ($1,500 new RTF, about $700+ used RTF). Since your budget is low, get a 450 size for training. Go used if you have to to make it fit in your budget. There are quite a few used 450 class helis for sale, and you can get a reasonable deal on them.
