Default RE: E-Flight hover

I just bought my blade tonight. I have the same problem with hoovering and a tendency to move to the left and forward a bit. Reading above makes me think this is normal.
I still want to find a resourse or someone can tell me how to adjust trim beyond the transmitter on the heli itself. I am assuming that its the 3 linkages on the swash plate, right?

Personally, I wouldn't mess with the servo linkages to the swashplate to try and trim the heli.

When I get ready to fly, I know it's gonna lean a little left and forward, so I adjust the trims a bit, get light on the skids to see what's gonna happen, then set it down and re-trim accordingly.

Concerning the earlier post about mounting the orange ping-pong balls with fule line...that works great. However, the tubing towards the heli (inner side side of balls) will have a tendency to slide and allow the balls to slide back and forth...possibly shifting your CG while flying. With the balls in the correct place and held firmly by the tubing, I put a drop of CA on the inner tubing.

It tilts to the left because of the rotation of the main blades. Give it right stick on the right stick and just when it lifts off release the right stick. Hopefully everything else is trimmed correctly.
