Default so i finally got it!

and i have some questions. i went over everything and made sure all nuts n bolts n screws were snug and secure and checked the swash plate to make sure it was level and took it for a test flight in my living room wanting to just hover and it takes off to the left very rapidly. there also is a slight vibration. any ideas? o yea, it might help if i put the model, duh! its a honeybee heres some pics and it also came with the 4 n 1. well ill have pics as soon as i get them resized

honey bee fp? If it goes left really fast then the swash plate isn't level. All helis will go left on take off a little bit and you just have to adjust for it.

Look up radds school of rotory flight.

thats my guess as well
some heli`s need a little tilt to the right on the swashplate to compensate for the torqe of the main blades
like maybe turnning the link on the right side of the swashplate in one full turn

this may help as well

i will try turning it in some. i know the swash plate is level. that was the first thing i looked at. hopefully it will not be raining outside so i can take it outside and get it more than few feet off ground to try get it settled in better. anything i should look out for or should try?

Sorry but how do you know it's level? by eye? not really the best way.

and it tilts left not because of the torque of the main blades, it turns left a little because of that but it tilts left because of the tail blades pushing the heli left. once off the ground both of these pretty much disappear.
