Hope someone can help me out on this...

I just got my very first r.c. flying machine, a Honeybee CP2, with the 6 channel radio and everything else, from Hobbies for Less.

In trying to get the thing to hover, I find it sliding to the left. Just as it seems to be "light on its skids" as the manual says, it slides to the left even though I have full right trim on (what I figure to be ) the cyclic stick. (i.e., the right stick, the left one has throttle yaw control).

If I try to add some right stick at take off, its too crazy and difficult to control. The heli banks too heavily and I have to lower the throttle.

If I try to fly at the park, the skid holds the heli in place (due to the grass) until it just pulls off balance to the left and again, I chicken out and cut the power to avoid a disaster.

How do I compensate for this leftward pull so I can get the unit in the air?

Thanks in advance for any help.
