OK...
I just want to say as u might have noticed I have no helicopter knowledge whatsoever, that's just to let u know.
To be a bit more descriptive than a decent user I'll describe the problem from the beginning.
So i walked on the Manchester's computer market tonight and saw a guy selling mini helicopters. The guy came to me so I talked to him about it and it sounded fun so I got one, when I was trying to identify it on the Internet I saw the Picco Z mini helicopter and i thought it was the one I just bought. Sadly after looking closely I saw that the helicopter even though they look alike has got a different sticker (Yup that seems to be it, just the sticker.) I looked on the Internet and finally found the helicopter I own the Whirlybird rider, since i didn't see much feedback about them on Internet i decided to ask you.
Is this thing just a piece of shit (aka fake), and Why The hell it is so hard to TRIM, i keep pressing this damn R button and this damn helicopter is still rotating clockwise.

Well, it is more like a clone. This helicopter comes under different names (piccoZ, AirHogs Havoc...) Anyway, I have had three of these helicopters and they all have the same problems, which can be easily fixed. Nose weight is one, the tail is the other. Do a search on the web for - PICCOZ MODIFICATIONS and it will take you to lots of websites (or try www.rctoolbox.no-ip.com). They may look alittle different but the mechanics are simillar. Goodluck. :D

Pressing the R trim button is supposed to make the heli spin clockwise.
