Hey turtlepee you say it turns left or right when you are over your house that could be wind current over the roof of your house . These little guys are very sensitive to any kind of wind . I have not only had mine turned right and left by the wind but up and down and even blown into the ground a few times . Even if it dosn't seem that windy flying around and over houses can cause some wind currents that will toss your plane around . I only fly mine up to only about 15 ft high or even lower if there is wind and not over houses but I am lucky and have about 1/2 acre to fly in right in my back yard . I just wish the wind would calm down for awhile I only got to fly 1 time this week for 1 flight before it got dark after work . Already this morning the winds are 15 mph and could get to 25 mph .

On my AA i have a few little problems and i wanted to see if you have any suggestions to help. My first problem is that it is always turning to the left a little even though i adjusted the tail of it. it's not to bad but it is a little irritating having it always turn to the right or left a little and sometimes if im lucky have it go straight for a while.but when it goes straight when it flies for a little it starts turning again when it's over my house.Any suggestions?Another problem is starting to worry me because real bad stuff could happen when i fly like 50 feet away. The problem is that after i get about 2 or 3 houses away from mine or like 50 feet it totaly screws up. The plane signals don't reach the plane right even though the box says it has a 300 foot range. I mean i could stand where i am with it sitting on the ground because the signals screwed up and i will hit the throttle on full and nothing happens until 2 seconds later. It's sorta like a sattlite tv signal compared to a cable tv where the picture is like 2 seconds later than the cable tv. If i tried to solve this would an unbent metal coat hanger wraped around the antenna do anything to help? Please help people.
