Somethings not set right, you shouldn't need to have your trim all the way over. Did you try to turn the gain up on your gyro? Do you have your Revo mix set right on your radio (+ and -)?

Make sure your swasplate is level with the controls neutral and the trim set to 0. If it's not level adjust the rods until you get it level, most heli should only need a click or to get them hands off in NO wind condition.

I'm not sure about the Aerohawk, but the Hummingbird doesn't rods to adjust. I think they are pretty much the same heli

I guess the first thing to do is check to see if any thing is binding Servo to swashplate. Once you have see the servo move to full lenght then check to see if radio could be messed up.
