Hi,

Have tried several times to get my 30 size heli in a steady hover. ( I have training gear on ). Each time I get it an inch or two off the ground, it has a strong tendency to go backwards. Could it be that the training gear is throwing it out of balance? Could it be just set-up wrong? I have tried to trim it with the radio with the right stick trim. I have a JR10X it was set at 0 and I moved it to a setting of 55 which seams excessive, to no avail. Any suggestions out there for a cause? I have not joined a club yet, They meet in two weeks.
Is there something I can check till I can have sombody look at it?

what heli? im not gonna be able to help cuz im new to jus wondering

It,s a Jr Ergo ss ccpm

Have a look at the swashplate... check that it is level with the heli and is able to move freely.. if this is ok check the paddles see whether they are parallel with each other and is in the neutral position.

check the movement of everything with the servo disconnected. I found that some of the ball links on mine were very tight and didn't allow the swashplate to center. Squeeze them while on the ball from the side just a bit to loosen them. Not too much though.

Thanks Gentlemen, I will try your suggestions and see how it looks. hope it is one of those things.
