Newb from TX
Hi I am a newb from just north of Dallas, TX. I have a Blade CX 2 and I am having trouble getting it to hover without pulling to one side or the other. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Check your swash plate to ensure it is level and your radio has it's subtrims centered. which way is it not stable FWD, BCKWD, LEFT, RIGHT?
Either way ensure that when you are not spooled up meaning not running the motor that your swash plate is level in all directions this will improve the hover.

WTTB. If you are just trying to get it to "barely" hover it might just be moving to ground effect, wind, torque, etc. There are many adjustments that play together that need to be aligned to get a stable hover. Even the RTF models will generally need some tweaks to get the blades tracking, etc. I'd recommend using a pitch gauge to ensure the paddles and the blades are set correctly as a first step. Good luck and be patient, it can take a little time!
