Andy, My new receiver arrived yesterday. I put it in the heli last night and tried it this morning. I had the same problem. I took it in to my nearest hobby shop to see what they thought might be the problem. It turns out it is the motor. They put another motor in for me and the heli is now performing the way it should. It has cost me a 1 hour trip to town plus the new motor ($25.00) but at least its working. Thanks for your help along the way.
