Default First RC Heli Flight!

Oh boy! I crashed the hell out of my poor King 2 twice. Only damage I did was to main gear, it got stripped. I have 3 spares for it tho (bought the black 400 main gears). I do have some questions \ problems.

My heli spins uncontrollably in circles when I raise the throttle. I played with the trims and I played with the gain on the gyro, nothing worked! If I kept my left stick pinned to the left as I raised the throttle, it would almost stop it from spinning in circles. What's the deal?

I notice that my main rotor is ALL over the place. The swash seems to be going wild when I raise the throttle. Is this normal? It seemed to rise straight up tho, may have just been my eyes.

I am going to put in my Telebee gyro and Extreme 43t pulley tonight, will that fix the tail?

Last one, I have training gear, but NO idea how to install it. Any how-tos for that? I flew it without training gear so far.

Thanks,
Steve

Check the belt tension.

Did you go over the entire heli before trying to fly again? disconnect the motor and make sure that the swashplate responds as required, you may have stripped a servo (listen for clicking).

I checked the servos, all seems to be well there. I am putting the 43t belt upgrade on it tonight so that should fix it I hope.

your heli spinning will not be resolved by doing the 43t pulley upgrade alone. the 43t will defintely help with tail control but your heli spinning is caused by something else. like druss said check your belt tension and move the servo arms and listen for clicking.

one more tip would be moving the tail servo holder towards the nose of the heli. if that makes the heli spins worst than move it towards the tail.
also check your pitch settings. if your pitch is off and your not getting enough headspeed before takeoff than it would make the heli spin also.

It spun in circles before the minor crash so I know its a setup problem. Just gotta figure it out.
