Need help pleeeez!
Bought a used CP (Hopped up).....I can't get it to hover straight up like my CX2.
The CP wants to drift, not roll but drift to the left???
The swash plate is level with the servo arms at the correct position upon power up.
Any advice guys????
Thank you in advance

It's something you need to get used to on a dual rotor heli. The tail rotor thrusts to the right to counteract the main rotor torque. since the gyro tries to hold the nose straight, that right thrust from the tail translates into a left drift.
Sorry. Wish I could have given you better news. The only way to fix it is to add trim on the transmitter, or adjust your swashplate to tilt very slightly to the right. I suggest you just get used to it. It's something you adapt to pretty quickly.

Oh well...Thanks for letting me know, appreciate the advice, I thought it was something I couldn't figure out in the servo settings!
I'll continue to work at, nice day today so away to build up some stick time today.
Cheers Chad!
