heh heli's are ABSO-FRIGG-DEFIN-OLUTELY hard to hover! In side, well that's easy, outside, that's another story, I've never flown inside. so that's sometimes a problem. ok now when you get it USE IT go out and bumble around on the ground. Don't get over 2 feet, please, if you do your just stupid and calling for a crash. The main problem with flying is the mind. so if you learn on your heli the first 20 minutes are completely vital to understanding your heli and learning to fly.

OK you got me started, i'm going to tell you every thing you should know to set up that heli.

for the first thing, what heli do you have? is sounds like a 36, or a 35 or maybe a blade/honeybee. skip the the next sentance if you have a motor driven tail. Push the servo holder on the tail back until when in neutral postion, GYRO off, the little slider piece is centered imbetween the blades and the tail. next make sure your main blades never go over 15 degrees, you could maybe put more... but NEVER EVER go under 2 while learning if you use ABS blades and/or want to keep the skids intact. now after that once you get out to fly this is the time to decide wether to use a gyro or not. if you do decide to use one, there really is no turning back. if otherwise you can always put it back on. I'd say take it off unless you spent extra for it. Make sure your gear mesh has a tiny gap, just miniscule. now for the gear/ belt make sure the gear mesh is right, for the belt make sure you can autorotate the main blades easily and don't feel much restance, but if you can't counter rotation of the blades your belt is just too loose, or one of the little plastic gears is stripped. good luck on this and if it's the 36/35 learn out side IF it's not windy, winds that are blowing your hair around is too much until you have at least used 10 batt cycles. then you can try a little more at your own risk, if you have a brushless on it.
