Default E-sky honey Bee CP2 issues

Hi.

I have some issues with my CP2 heli:

Trimmer confusions:
The receiver have two trimmers. (1)Gain trimmer and (2)Proportion trimmer. The manual instructs me to adjust trimmer 2 (Proportion, according to the manual) in order to keep the heli in the same direction when encreasing thrust. If the heli turns left or right, adjust this trimmer + or -. However, on my receiver, which is the same as in the manual, the numbers on the switches are oposite. Or have I misunderstood something? When I adjust the (1)Gain trimmer to +, the tail rotor goes faster and the heli turns right. When I adjust (2)Proportion to +, the tail starts wobbeling. Something is wrong in this manual I guess.

Pitch problem:
Another thing. If I panic, while hovering in my livingroom, I want the heli down. But the pitch does not respond accordingly to decreased thrust so the heli keeps its level long enough to destroy some furnitures and blades. I have also seen that the pitch is increased slowly and normal while increasing thrust, but at a certain level of thrust, the pitch goes from normal to MUCH in no time, and the heli suddely goes fast upwards. If I inspect the servo movements, they move smooth all the way, so I guess there is something with the plastic parts in the main rotor. If I manually force one blade to pitch without moving the resvos, it feels quite loose, and I can see that the mechanics in the swash-plate is loose (It is a small metal ball in there which have too much room - so to speak).

In the same time, when adjusting Gain and Proportion to the best possible position, the heli want to turn right until liftoff. In the air the heli is pointing in the same direction when howering. Maybe this is also linked to the pitch problem above?

What to do with this? Buy a more expencive heli?[]
