Phenom, not to sound rude, but I think you may need to exercise a little more patience. One of the first things the manual recommends is to work out your control inputs, and then to tune the response of the heli by adjusting the trim pots on the 4-in-1. Mine was all over the place as well - however with "patience" and trial and error I have the thing locked in and I love to fly it. It took me all of 10 minutes to get mine dialed in the first time, and then with each upgrade of blades (I'm on Carbons now) I had to do more fine tuning. I had even more fine tuning to do when I went to my Futaba radio over the stock unit. Trimming and tweaking helicopters is part of the package. The surprising thing about these for their price is the fact that you get a helicopter that has had the CCPM mix already configured for you - you don't have to deal with that, only minor trimming.

No offense, but if you think these are difficult to tune and trim I'd suggest staying away from the more complex birds. The only thing they have going for them - and this is AFTER you have gone through the pain of setting them up - is the heading hold gyro and potentially more stability as they are larger.

I think if you take the time and exercise enough patience to get yours in trim you will really enjoy flying it. Just my .02.
