Backwards

[wiseman]

Hi, Guys
Got my self a little EVO 180S, when i try a take off the heli only seems to want to go backwards, any ideas for a fix. if it helps the transmitter is a stock CUK-2403

[ph678]

have you levelled the swash? is the centre of gravity ok?
I'm not all up on that model but give these things a go and see

First set all the trims on the tx to centre then like ph678 said check the swash plate if it not level adjust the control rod links to adjust it level. You will need to pop of the links to do this but only half a turn a time until it is level. You can buy a swach plate level tools to help with this.

If all is good then again like pg678 siad check the CofG. install your flight battery, canopy etc then with two hands hold the flybar each side so they flybar is 90 degrees to the body on each side. Now with the heli now hanging there is level if not move the battery if you can a little forward or backwards to get the heli sitting dead level.

See what happerns after this but remember that these helis are fixed pitch so they will move arond a lot on take off.
