I Put the new batts in the transmitter and put some graphite (pine wood derby dust) on the shaft and no more bouncing up and down. I think it was more likely that the new batts cured my problem. I did however get a bit to confident and had to ditch it to avoid hitting myself, once again. Only minor damage to the depron tail fin. I forgot how much fun this little heli can be!

God Bless!
