Default Aerohawk Tail problem

Hi,
I have an aerohawk and love it, but am having a slight problem. I have the trim all the way to the right on the rotor, but it still wants to rotate slightly and I have to keep my hand on the control on the opposite direction, is there anyway I can trim it up more? The controller is at the end, as far as it will go =\

there should be a proportional knob on the reciever, turn that besides the trim

I see 2 knobs on the receiver one says 204 and one says 103... ahh I'm so glad the manual was so clear to state which was which =) Any idea off hand?... sadly looks like I'll have to break the "shrink wrap" around holding the receiver in place

If I remember right (do a search to double check - it's been posted before) the pot near the front of the heli is the Gyro sensitivity, the other is the Tail gain control

Be careful when adjusting these pots - they have an end stop which you can break
Make sure you know the original position, before you adjust them


Turning the pot clockwise increases the gain


You don't need to remove all of the shrink-wrap, just use a sharp blade to cut a flap over the pot

Ok, so to make sure about this.
Rotating the rotor control screw will adjust where it 0s in at?
Now what about what someone else said about when you power the receiver on it 0s in on the values it's getting from the transmitter?

It's very simple:
If the nose goes left spin the mixer gain pot clockwise.
If the nose goes right, spin it counter-clockwise.
