Hi all,
I am a first time heli flyer and i have just aquired a HIROBO SHUTTLE PLUS.
After attempting to fly over the past two days i have noticed quite alot of vibration.
I have centred the stabilizer bar as this was 5mm further over on one side.
I have marked one rotor blade with pen as it was spinning and i need this blade to go down or the other side to go up,which componant do i need to adjust to make them both level as i understand that the blades not being level causes alot of vibration.
i can get the heli off the ground but i can't get it to stay even close to one spot. every time i adjust the trims it does something different. please help... pictures will be very handy
many thanks

You need to balance and track your blades.
Once you get them balanced put a different piece of colored tape on each blade tip and find out which is high or low.
Adjust the long pitch link from the swash to the upper mixing lever till the blades track together.

Here is a picture of a cheap and easy way to balance your blades if you don't have a blade balancer.
This link will explain how to balance blades. [link=http://www.dream-models.com/eco/Blade_balancing.html]Balancing blades[/link]
