Only have a few flights on this heli, and have not crashed it that much all original parts including blades. So I'd think that it does not have that much wear and tear on it yet. Recently it has been unable to make a left turn. How can I fix this or is this beyond help.

Upper blade pitch adjustment screws - the most important adjustment on the Heli

The red/green LEDS should BOTH be flickering when hovering on a fixed heading. If not, they need to be adjusted - see the manual for the explanation.
When properly adjusted, you should be able to do piros in either direction at about the same speed.

Mine was a little 'loose' after a crash (nothing major) and I had replaced all blades, adjusted tracking etc. So what I did was to hold the heli with my right hand while increasing throttle with my left. I managed to trim it so both green and red flickers but still it wants to drift to the right.

So what gives? Maybe a little trimming on the gyro setting buttons is in order?

If it wants to drift to the right, then you must be appling left stick - or left trim - to hold a heading. This will make the green LED light, so you aren't there yet. Turn the pitch adjustment screws to the right to reduce the pitch on the upper blades.

Simply adjusting the rudder trim so that both LEDS flicker won't work - it will still yaw one way or the other if the pitch screws aren't adjusted correctly...

It's correct when it doesn't tend to yaw and both LEDS are flickering. The final test is to see if you have an equal piro speed in both directions. If the pitch screws are off even a little bit, you'll see a difference in piro speeds.

If the blades are damaged or defective, you'll see rudder trim changes and tracking jumps with different throttle settings. Make sure the blades don't have any weak spots - especially near the root end.

You shouldn't have to mess with the Gyro gain - at least not for this problem.
Turning down the gyro gain does make the piro's faster though - great fun

well how bout this...

just got untethered off rc groups.... good deal

but issue when i fly, after about 5 minutes of flight, i loose the ability for solid left rotation...

when i first start out, its perfect, good rotation in both directions at about equal speeds... but after just 4-5 minutes max, i have hard time finding left rotation...???

motor shot? worn out maybe? is there a good upgrade motor, maybe coreless or something?? or can i just replace with stock ones, how long do they last? where can i get upgrade or stock motor?

thanks...

--BTW this thing is so easy to fly, i think maybe my wife could even figure this out... its amazing... flys itself really.

ok...

looked into this further today.... i get red led all the time while hovering on constant heading...

i've applied as much blade pitch as the screw will turn, still not enough to get a flickering green to red.... always red.........

i think the motors in this thing are spent, won't hover for more than 2 or 3 minutes now w/out losing all power and pretty much won't get 12 inches off the ground?

spent motors? i assume this is it, using 2 different batts... does it the same on both batts.....

where can i buy replacement motors?
