Default Having a glitching problem, CX2

When I'm hovering around in the living room, with the trim all the way to the right on the controller then nose of the helicopter spins to the left, also while it's spinning it seems to be glitching but all of the functions work fine. Does anyone know what's up?

Mine has the 3 in 1 on it, with the spectrum radio system. Which adjustment do I have to adjust? Gain or porportional? Will this fix my spinning problem also?

Adjust the proportional potentiometer to the right a little at a time. Once you are close to a good setting it doesn't take much to make it worse or right on. When you say glitching could you explain a little bit more? Is the tail shaking at all? If so you gain is too high.

Yes it shakes when just hovering, I'll be hovering and it will shake a little but stay straight. Hope that helps, I'll try the poportional thing but I'll mark where it's at right now to have a reference point.

Is the whole helicopter shaking? If so, you have something bent like a shaft or flybar. Or does it look like the tail is going from left to right really fast without a rudder input? If so, turn the gain potentiometer counter clockwise a little at a time until it stops.

No the tail shakes back and forth, not the whole helicopter, and it stops every once in a while. I'll try adjusting the gain also.

Well fiqured out my shaking problem, the whole main shaft, inner shaft, and flybar were bent. I bought it from my local hobby shop, and someone must of had it and crashed. Even the aluminum top piece was missing a screw that's what kinda makes me wonder about someone else having it. Right now I've got it torn down to just about nothing, all of the shafts out, plus the collar at the top of the motors, the screw was stripped out so I had to cut off the collar with a dremel. I called Horizon Hobby and they are going to call me back seeing as how the helicopter is a week old, and it was probably bent when I bought it! Who knows, I have no problem with purchasing the new parts but it kinda would be nice to see how this thing fly's when everything is straight! I believe this is why when I adjusted the adjustments on the tx the changes never seemed to stick.
