Question on my first hovers
I have finally gotten to actually, well kind of, hover with my honeybee cp2 about 1" off the ground, and I am just checking on things...
In order for me to keep the heli in one place hovering I have to keep the right stick constantly a wee bit to the right and the rudder a wee bit constantly making left adjustments(nose goes right).
My question: Is this because of the ground effects, or is it also a sign that my swash isn't level?
I just want to make sure that things seem ok with the seet up of my HBCP2
Thanks!

RE: Question on my first hovers
Generally ground effects will not have a consistent pattern. Push your trim button a little bit to the right.
I think the CP2 has a 4n1 unit - you may need to adjust the Proportional just a HAIR. The tail on these will never be rock solid - but you should not have to keep giving it rudder movements all the time. Only occassionally.
I also think you have to unplug the battery when changing the Proportional in order for it to take effect.
If you dont have training gears on it - GET SOME or make some - they will save you a lot of broken parts.
