I purchased my 1st RC Copter...not an expensive one...just one to see if I am going to like it. Out of the box it worked great...took off instantly and obeyed all commands. Now when it lifts off it takes off backwards...Any thoughts???

give the right stick two clicks of down trim. Try taking off again. May need some more down trim. Up trim will make it go backwards.

Welcome to the hobby and RC Universe, What model do you have?
