Default First crash

I'm really new to this hobby after getting a micro heli from my wife for christmas. I was hooked. So after playing around with that I bought a Honey Bee CP3 since it would be a good 6ch. trainer. I finally got it hovered after a 5 days and had a fall. All the mecahnics seem to function right but when I start it up, it wobbles bad. Does anyone have an idea what my problem could be?

++1 to that! Take the main shaft out and roll it on a very flat (or glass) table, and check for a wobble.
