I'm new to helis and have a helimax cp mini ep. i have the same issue. When I start to take off from a hard surface it wants to go to one side but my friend who is experienced lifted it right up and hovered nicely outside. So this sideways effect does go away once up in the air? I am a bit squimish to do so thinking that I don't have controll of the heli or some mechanical pot adjustment is off. Anyone feel this way and found a resolution, should I just take off and believe it wont fly sideways into my face?
