i'm going to be getting one soon myself, but to help you guys with your questions, when i started flying my rotofly, it scooted to the left a little bit. all i had to do was realign my training gear and now i can take straight off. whichever direction you start to skid, thats the direction you want to move your training gear, causing your heli to tilt in the opposite direction. if your 100% new to helis in general, your going to have some tilt while your in a hover. i still havn't found out why, but its easy to overcome and you get used to it. let me know how your motors last. i keep burning mine up in my rotofly. good luck.
