Hey Joey, probably a good initial set up is -1 at the bottom, +5 in the middle stick and +7 at the top....
When you say the blades tilt when it sitting do yo umean the while rotor head or just the blades and paddles?
The whole rotor head should be vertical, the blades should also be horizontal...

If oyu have a local flying field, you should go out there and get some help setting it up.

the fly bar is what is leaning to the left the rotor head looks straight the main blades lean back should i adjust these?
as far as finding someone to help well none of the guys at my flying field do heli's i am making a training stand to maybe help out anyone evr use one?
joe

The flybar might lean left or right, its acutally on a see-saw, so you can move it by hand...
What do you mean the main blades lean back?

here is a pic

The blades seem fine, do you mean they are twisted on their axis? In that 1 edge is lower than the other? If so that is fine, that is the blade pitch.

Is the person who sold it to you not local?
