Default trying to hover without moving forward

Friday I bought a Blade CP with the training gear. You see I am NEW to this. I have never flown any RC model.
When trying to get he heli from the ground (Let's say about 4 inches) the heli turns to the left and moves fowards.[>:]
I succeeded in keeping it from turning to the left, but it still moves forward with the nose down.
What do I have to do to keep the heli in the air without going forward?
Thanks

a suggestion from another helo newbie:

read - [link=http://www.dream-models.com/eco/flying-index.html]RADD'S FLIGHT SCHOOL[/link]

try the short version - the long version was kinda tedious to read (sorry radd).

This is why helis are hard to fly. You just gotta get practice. Move the trims until it stays in a hover easier

Yes, it seemed like I would never get my off the ground. The best thing I did was buy a simulator.
Anyway it like riding a bike, once learned its hard to understand how hard it use to be
