<span style="font-size: larger">OK guy's i went with the Honeybee 004, I opened it up tightened all the screw charged the battery and took it into the Dinning room to take it for my first flight. When it throttled up the tail Started Spinning clock wise and the more throttle i gave it the faster it went around and around. I finally got it to stop spinning and slowly throttle up trying to get it to lift off slowly so it wouldn't take off and slam into a wall. I took the throttle to full throttle and the Heli barely lifted of the ground. I read you have to throttle it pretty fast to get it of the ground and once in the air you could throttle down, when i tried it all that happened was the tail went spinning around and slide across the floor. Any ideals to what I am doing wrong? </span>

Is it new? Sounds like the internal gyro isn't working or the tail motor is burned out. Also, if that's the nimh battery you should really cycle it a few times before you get full power out of it. I'd personally ditch the stock battery and get a lipo.
I would also suggest that you never fly the heli in the house. Believe me, my wife throws a fit everytime I put a blade strike mark on the wall. If you need an indoor space then try the garage.

<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><font size="3">I just replaced the Gyro when i first got it hooked the battery to wrong spot and fried the original one. The replacement cost me half of what the Heli did, the tail motor seems to be responding well to the throttle. I Disconnected the main motor to see if the tail motor was responding correctly and the blades where responding to the different movements on the control, but when i set it down to try to get it to fly, when i throttle up it goes back to spinning clockwise and the more throttle i give it the fast it spins out of control. I also purchase a 7.4V 800mAh 2 cell li-po Battery that am useing, Any idea's to what might be wrong?</font></span></p>
