Hi I am just another newbie... to rc and heli's
I got a skylark the other day because I always wanted a heli since I was a small kid ....

Started flying and had a few crashes... got on to the RADD school of flying lessons and have been working on them.

the main reason I have put this post in is to comfirm a prob that I have had with my heli. I could not get it to hover ... everytime I tried to trim the heli it would be fine for about 3 sec and then go off in a different direction.
After close inspection I noticed my fly bar had some small splits in it and after taking it out noticed that it was cracked in the middle. It woud cause the paddles to be off angle and would not stay inline with each other.
Could this be the root of the difficulty triming and hovering??

I have sourced a new flybar...... 2mm titanium bike spoke cut down to fit ...very light and strong ...(hopefully not too strong)
It was only $6sgd for 2 and there is enough left over for other retro fitting of landing gear incase I break it.

so any advice would be greatly appricated.. esp about the intialy hovering prob.. could the fly bar be the cause of this??
