Default HELP! Need help on heli control!

I bought a new mini chinook the other day and when i start up the throttle, the plane seems to drift to one side. I can't even get into a hover yet because it just seems to fall to the right, It's not spinning it just seem when it gets enough power to hover it tilts to the right while it's still on the ground.
Need help plz

You need to level the swashplates. There are a few links

[link=http://www.rchelisite.com/how_to_build_a_swashplate_leveling_tool.php]Very Good swashplate tutorial and a neat trick to take the guesswork out..[/link]


[link=http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=727689]Lama V4 resource thread which is good for all coax heli's[/link]

In the very 1st post of the above link, there is another link to "Klondike's Swashplate Leveling Tutorial", which includes making sure you keep a 90-degree angle between servo arms & the linkage to the swashplate. That thread has a TON of info for noobs & coaxial helis.
