Hi!
While hovering or flying, my heli rotates to the right slowly, so that I adjusted with the adjust trim that locates right below the throttle stick on the transmitter. Now it is better, and yet, still it rotates to the right very very slowly, even though the trim lever is "all the way to the left." Thus, there is no more room to move the trim lever to the left to stop the heli's slow rotating clockwise, while flying or hovering.
How can I fix this problem? I am a begginer heli flyer, so your advices will be greatly appreciated! Please, help me.
Thank you very much!

Which heli do you have? There are several issues that can cause the symptom you are seeing but it helps to know if you have a co-axial, single blade, fixed pitch, collective pitch, tail rotor motor or direct drive helicopter.

heres a few Ideas for better tail tracking. there are a few possible causes.
First simply add a small amount of gain on your gyros adjustment pot, if the tail wiggles you have gone too far and should turn it back toward the negative slightly until you have no tail wag at a hover.
If your bird is a single rotor, you can try moving the tail servo slightly along the tailboom, making note of which way the tail blades move. Set your rudder trim to zero and turn on your radio and heli. At this point the tail blades trailing edge should be a little to the right of center with the heli.
You can also move the ball link at the servo one hole away from center if the tail cannot be made to wag at the maximum gyro gain.
If your heli is belt driven, check the belt tension, the procedure is here in the forum somewhere...
Add a little head speed to give your tail blades more holding power. You can do this by a small increase in the throttle curve, or a slight reduction in the pitch curve.
And just for the sake of being thorough, you can lube the tailbelt. Use a non petroleum based lubricant as petroleum products will break down the belt. Somewhere in here I read about using food grade spray lubricant, whatever that is.
Hope this helps[8D]

Sorry! I forgot to mention about my heli.
It is a Venom Beacon (co-axial) which is similar with "E-Flite Blade CX 3."
Coudl you give me your adivice, please? Thank you very much again!

If I compare it to a CX2 (check other threads for this), there should be a pod on the control unit that allows you to adjust drift. Reset trim to neutral, and rotate the pod very very VERY slowly until it you get better control. Turn the unit off and on each time you adjust.

Hi, guys!
Thank you very much for your responses!
I will try to adujust the pod on the control unit. And then, I will let you know.
Oh, by the way, I am thinking to have an "E-Flite msr" as the next heli, because I feel like Venom Beccon is a little too big to fly in my house. Is the 2.4 GHz radio of my Venom Beacon heli compatible for E-Flite mSR "bind-and-fly" version?
Thank you very much for your attention again!

Hi! Thank you very much for your answer!
I tried to adjust the pod on the control unit, but while testing, the heli hit a post, and the blades are broken. I have to get new blades, and then, I will let you know.
I have found out another heli on the internet (heli-maxrc.com). It is "Novus FP." It seems to be similar with E-Flite mSR, but it looks like better than E-Flite mSR. Also brushless system is available for Novus FP.
Do you know about this heli? Do you think which one is better?
I appreciate your answers. Thank you very much for your attention!
