Hi everyone! I have my first helicopter and am finding that it drifts very hard to the left....Trim adjustment is no where near enough to keep it centered...The control stick is almost to the extreme right to counter the drifting problem....Anybody have some advice? The control linkages are not threaded so how do I adjust them?

Thanks!

You can unscrew the horn of the servo and adjust it that way. it may help you to find the center for the aileron.

Ideally with the servo arms AND the trims on the TX centered, your swashplate should be level. Most of the time this isn't the case with pre-assembled (RTF) units.

Re-centering the servo arms usually helps some. You can also buy and install some 'Dubro' mini ez-connectors then make some new custom linkages out of piano wire. (This is what I had to do)

I had to reposition my servo and take off the arm and adjust that too. You can buy adjustable threaded carbon links for that copter at heli hobby also.

Ok Thanks for some great advice!

I had the same problem with my dragonfly, after moving the servo horn It improved but you need to get about 1 ft high to avoid ground effect which causes the dragonfly to either drift to the left or tip over to the right, make sure you use your training skids and I found its easier to practice on your own with no distractions as learning to hover can be very frustrating, heres a good link that may help
