RE: Hovering the AXE
ONe thing UKIE is to check your TRIMS on the Transmitter. Those TRIMS are not going to be perfectly centered. THey are to be used to adjust slight problems with the machine drifting off. It is somewhat normal to have the trims adjusted about 1/4 left or right of center. Anymore than this would have to be corrected in the mechanical.
By the Way, I guess the purist try to set up their Heli Mechanics so that they have all centered TRIMS, but that takes alot of time. If you machine is drifting up to the right, well lets see. To me it is good to have some "forward" trim and to hold back on the elevator (pulling back on right hand stick). To solve the other, I would add some trim on the right stick (bottom TRIM) to the left to bring the machine back to center.
Remember that due to "Ground Effect" the machine is going to wander all over the place. Also the gyro in some ways has not had a chance to stabalize due to the Main Rotor has not reached a certain RPM. It gets complicated.
You are doing fine - just stay on top of the cyclic and rudder to keep it stable. If it has a constant bad habit of wandering "really quick" to the way that you say, then adjust your trims.

I hope this helps.
