adding weight to a cpv3
 

im having a hard time tring to fly my cpv3, when i get it up its leans to the side and i end up striking the blades,and tail rotor when i dump the throttle to try and save it.

my 1st question is, can i add some weight to the bottom of the heli to help keep it level?
2nd, could i make some training wheels that are wider than the blade diameter?

would this mess with flight any?

RE: adding weight to a cpv3
 

All that adding weight will do is make it more sluggish and use more power. The heli leans to the side to counteract the thrust from the tail rotor, which tends to push the heli to the left if you hold it level. You'll get used to it, but if it's causing that much trouble, you might do well to get training gear for the heli until you've become accustomed to it.</p>

it came with training gear, but its kinda skinny. can i trim it to the right just a bit and get rid of the lean?

No, it doesn't work that way I'm afraid. the disc will still have to be tilted to the right, and on the helis we fly, that means the rest of the heli, too :).</p>

pinged you, but it said idle. It's as well, it's about sack time on the East coast. You can post anything else, though.</p>
