Default RE: sparc hoverflash ????

I bought a Sparc HoverFlash in the winter and all I can say is JUNK. Ive gone through 3 sets of main rotor blades @10$per set... and each set gets destroyed in a matter of minutes, its never been airborn for longer then 10 seconds at a time before it yaws the heli into a wobble and totaly uncontrolable. From day 1 as soon as it gets airborn it has a tendency to yaw to the right...even with full opposite rutter..all that does is slow the spin down somewhat. Also once you crash this thing the blades are garbage because they fall appart, id like to see them made out of plastic at least not thin cardboard!!! My tail rotor spins at equal speeds in both directions so im not sure why its doing this..the main rotors apear to be true with no wobble at low speeds or high..im stumped. I called customer support and they want me to ship it to the states to get it fixed or replaced, the thing is that I paid 100$ for it and am not willing to spend another 40-50 to ship this thing out and back as Sparc does NOT pay for shipping. Can anyone give me an idea as to why this is happening and what can be done to correct it? Its really to bad because the motor has TONS of power and would be a really cool machine if it worked good. I do understand its just a cheap toy and what can you expect right? well I at LEAST expect it to "HOVER" haha, since it is called a HOVERFLASH..
