I have a gws dragonfly with training gear on. It wobbles a little but as it lifts up it wants to go in one direction (left). Is something out of balance or not adjusted?

Has any one had problems getting parts for this thing? I can not get parts from my LHS, TowerHobbies, or GWS. All out of stock and looking at Dec. before any more parts will come in... I'm about ready to throw this thing in the fire place!!!! It never has flown the way it should!!! And I can not get the parts to fix it. The thing is all out of wack because I have to use parts that are not for this bird! I will never buy another GWS product!!! Why would they sell a product and then not sell parts for it!!! I have upgraded to a Lite Machine... I should have done this in the first place.!

I also have the Dragonfly and with the training gear on it goes left. With the training gear off it flips to the left just before there's enough power to get it off the ground. Surely this isn't normal.
Any ideas?

Now the second time I flew this it did the same thing, but to the right. With the trainer on, it can clearly be seen the copter wanted to flip right. Off, it flipped right. With the trainer on I was able to move forward, back, left and right - but it still wanted to flip and did so as soon as the trainer balls came off the ground. When I removed the training gear, it flipped right as soon as it had enough lift.

A lot of problems were fixed once i paid a attention to flybar lrngth and pitch. Also check your surface when you take off. You really want a nice polished wooden floor where the skids can do what they want otherwise once lift off happens the whoe heli twists now unbridled.
