thanks for the info guys. I think alot of it might be ground effect. I really need a bigger place to practice. I'll look at the swash plate tonight, I think its pretty level though. Hoping my g3.5 sim comes today, my axe is down with a broken tail rotor, waiting on the parts. once I fix it I'm gonna take it to work and fly it in the warehouse, that will give me alot more room to get in the air and let it wonder around a bit.
