Hello Everyone, First Post!!

<span>Ok, so heres my story... I just got a helicopter for the holidays and after doing my research I decided on a v911 4 chanel fp. (http://www.amazon.com/Helizone-Light.../dp/B008UGD3HS). This is my first helicopter and Iam trying to learn to fly it. The problem I am having is that it is pretty un-stable. When Ipictured flying this t thought if Ididnt mess with any trimm and increased the speed of the rotor, the helicopter should go straight up in the air and be able to hover, or at least close to it.</span>
I am having trouble just getting the helicopter off the ground. As soon as i increase the speed the helicopter takes of left or right without me touching anything but the throttle. Adjusting trim one way or another works a little but it still does not want to just take off straight up in the air.
When Ihave the transmitter set to factory normal (nothing adjusted), and start to wind the helicopter up slowly, before the helicopter lifts from the ground it takes off left and either runs into something or just falls on its side.

What Iam wondering is if this is normal behavior and Ijust need to practice or if Ihave a helicopter that needs to be replaced. Since I have no expierence Ijust want to make sure I am not wasting my time fighting with a helicopter that may be a lemon.

Thanks in advance for the help!

*Edit - Just for more info, I am flying this bird inside, not outside for the time being.
