anacondatm,

I emailed Heli-Max earlier this evening. It'll be monday before I hear from them I'm sure. Yes, for now I've been trying to hold the heli about a foot off the ground and a little right stick to keep it from spinning.
I've heard that about using ping pong balls. We just so happen to have some in our break room. I'll see if I can talk our machinist into letting me use one of his drill presses and a drill bit. It makes perfect sense to me. I've noticed that the foam balls encourage the heli to spin. I've just been trying to keep it straight.
K94MAX,

At about 40% throttle, I'm already off the ground. Is this normal??
