Need a bit of help

[gray]

I am new to rc helicopters and was recently given a Century Hummingbird V3 that the previous owner got frustrated with.

I have repaired some minor damage to the battery holder and adjusted the tracking as best I can. All the servos appear to be working properly and I don't see any other damage or non working systems.

The problem comes whenever I try and lift off. It is almost as if the left skid is glued to the carpet. The heli wants to tilt over to the left before it gets off the ground. I have tried it with full right trim and full right cyclic but it still wants to immediately roll to the left.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Is the swash 'level' to begin with?


Full right cyclic and it STILL tips left?? Make sure the swash tilts in the direction of the stick movement.. looking at it from tail-in to you. Right stick is right tilt //// Left stick is left tilt.

That's just one place to start.
