Darticus,

A year or so ago, the company did test fly each CP, well, as things go on, and sales go up. There is very little flight testing, they inspect for mechanical setup, to a point and let it go to the buyers...

As I mentioned, the helis are a big learning curve... Try this,, just to see how the heli works... Unplug the main and tail rotor plugs from the 3n1, notice which plug goes where and what direction the black wire goes..Write it down or mark 'em.
Tune on the TX and plug in the battery to the heli... then move all the sticks and trim levers and just watch what happens to the servos and swashplate..Take everything in... You'll think,,, Hmmmm, so that's how that works..

Have fun,
