ORIGINAL: Indy Park Flyer

From what I can see in your pictures, it looks like you may have a crack where the horizontal stabilizer, and the vertical stabilizer meet, causing the verticle stabilizer to lean to the right. This type of problem can not be fixed with the trim buttons on the transmitter. Look closely on the right side of the verticle stabilizer where the verticle and horizontal stabilizer meet and see if there is a gap, or crack at that point. If there is, move the verticle stabilizer with your hand until it is centered and not leaning and fill in the crack or gap with a drop or two of foam-safe CA. I had to do this to my champ, but I bought it used from someone so I attributed the lean to some hard flying before I got it.

You can tell from those pictures that there is a crack somewhere along the horizontal stab? Oooook.

It looks to me like it is either installed incorrectly or there is a problem with the way the stabs are attached to the fuselage (for this particular model).

I would contact Hobbyzone about this.
