Hi all,im new to this hobby and i got a honeybee FP as a starter heli.

I can do tail-in hovers fine and currently am doing side-in hovers...couple of crashes so far,but it's been fixed at the local hobby shop.

Ok,im having some issues recently,firstly,the HB keeps moving forward even with the trim trimmed all the way back. It's just a tad heavy on the nose when i lift it up with the flybar to see if it's balanced,im using nimh batteries at the moment,anyway to fix this?

Secondly, i've noticed whenever i go for a session of hovering,over a period of time i'd have to trim the HB again to get it flying properly. That is within the same flight and not every subsequent new practice flight.Is this normal?
i realise i waste a lot of time trimming it and since im using the stock battery they dont last very long,thus progress has been slow []

Going to your local hobby shop is something you should stay away from. As you learn, you will crash and the HBFP is about as easy a heli to learn to fix as there is out there. YOU need to learn to work on your own heli so you know what makes it tick.
The battery should be able to slide forward and back on the guide rails. You can do this by moving the little pieces of clear rubber tubing as needed. This will allow the battery holders to move until you get the center of gravity (CG) where you need it. When you go to Lipo batteries, you will need to move the battery forward because they don't weigh as much. The NiMH batteries are quite heavy and require more power just to lift their weight.

You're right,i realised it'd be alot cheaper to be fixing it myself than what they charge me the servicing for repairs.That's why i came to the forums
They arent really helpful at the shop either......can say what i've learnt so far is pretty much on my own
