Hello everyone!

I am new to R/c Helicopters and may have jumped ahead a bit too early. I bought a walkera mini cobra and manged to half destroy it before it even took flight. I now most of you are smirking at your screens laughing 'noob' but I would really appreciate your help.

So here's the details.............

I bought a mini cobra and got all excited about flying it around the place. I unpacked it and chrged the battery whilst I read the instructions. Luckily this problem is not in the instructions.......... or I am too noob to know. I switched on the controller before the heli like a good boy but every time I increased the throttle to take off the heli kept strafing left. I tried switching it off, making sure all the trims were in the right place and switching it back on again but it still strafed left...... into a wall and broke the tail rotor. I replaced the rotor with the spare provide and it still happened. I tried adjusting the trim when it looked like it was happening again but this did not help at all.... not even a bit. Now I have broken all my tail rotors and am sad because I can't fly my new heli.

It's more than likely me and my lack of knowledge/experience so could I please borrow some of yours? I am just about to order new rotors so I have some time to study your answers before I 'fly' it again. Please help as my house is turning into an rc helicopter graveyard!

Thanks in advance
Peace
