My Posts This: Topic Forum | Falcon FlyerHey man I live in your area and I bet the problem is not with the Heli it's with the set-up in the Radio,the RX, or the engine/pitch curve. You're getting a lot of info here and it should pay out, however, if you don't know what you're looking for than this amount of info is a waste. It sounds like you need to get with the right people and let someone who has a lot of experience with that bird set it up for you. The person who sold that heli to you probably set that bird up to fly his set-up and not yours. Not to sound mean but everyone has a set-up that's purely theirs...Let me explain, you said that you're starting out in the hobby, okay you're probably flying with some type of training skid and I could be wrong. You need to set that bird up a little different than say someone who's not flying that setup. Also, they might have had that bird set up to 3D and at this point you need to be hovering or doing more of a FAI setup.
Second, you have a lot of resources in the area, some good and some not so good and I won't elaborate on whos who. Get with the right people and trust that you will get the right results, i.e. the people over at MC2 International. If you worried about spending the few dollars to get that bird running properly and to have someone teach you how to set up than the alternative is crashing and spending money on parts. Listen, I've been flying for two years now and the experience in the area has paid out greatly, trust those thats been flying for 20 years they might have seen the problem before and guess what...they sell those kits.
My last thought, try not to look at others and gauge your progress because you will always come up not to happy with what you have accomplished. If you want to sell that bird, I will be more than happy to take it off your hands, because that bird flies like a dream when it's set up properly. So get with us man, come out to Chesapeake and let the group give you a hand. If you can't make it out then get with Eulace and Norvin over at MC2 and I would bet that in no time they will get that thing working the way you want it. If you're wondering those guys run MC2 and everyone in the area at some point has to ask the guru (Eulace) for help...He's been around a while and by far the best pilot in the area. Hope I helped
