Ok im a total noob to flying heli's so be easy on the flaming :D Ok heres the deal i just got a BlapeCp..while learning to hover i noticed that the whole heli likes to lean to the left side, this makes it very hard to fly for a noob :o I know its not the trim bc everything is set strait in the middle position..any advice is apreaciated.

This is completely normal. The leaning is caused by the translation tendency between the torque of the main rotor and the counter action of the tail rotor.

Simply put, the main rotor causes torque (counter clockwise). The tail counter acts this torque by pushing in the opposite direction (clockwise). This causes the model to lean.

If you think it's hard now, wait until you get to side-in hover. :eek:
