update...
i put the gain and proprtional on the 4 in 1 mixer back to center which is where it was out of the box and the clockwise spinninghas stopped on its own with the rudder trim all the way left. no tail wobble of any kind, so this is good. not sure why nowbut not before, but ok. i can lift it off the ground briefly, but it still slides left and slightly forward. not sure if this is a trim, balance, or simply an issue with the main rotor blades themselves?</p>
