Default CX2 Not flying straight

I am sure there is a post on this some place but I caint find it... I bought a CX2 today not my first heli not my last. I had a cx but bought the cx2 since I have the DX6i which I love by the way.... I did the Horizon hobby 7 steps to use the Dx6i with the cx2. AT first The heli would shutter back and forth (rudder) Horizon tech said turn the gain a "Smidgen" so I did it worked then the heli wouldn't stop Nose drifting to the left so Again Horizon Tech said turn the Main rotor gain just a "touch" So I did it worked. My problem is I fly forward flight and the Rudder will twitch to the left or right about 1-2 inches off straight which is a pain in the butt when flying forward at full speed. Has this happened to anyone else? I have been spending the last 2 hours turning pots just a smidge and a touch to get it right it stays put but that darn twitch is really grinding my nerves. Anthony

Thats what I have been doing back and forth not much of turn either just a tiny bit at a time if I go to far it actually gets worse so I must be at the sweet spot or close to it. I am starting to think it might be a bad board or something I 'll call Horizon again tommorow and see.

ah64 - My life is complex enough without computerized transmitters. That's why I want your CX2 transmitter! Sooo simple.
I did send you a PM.
Hope you get some use out of the CX Setup Guide.
