| Welcome to RR, it's a great resource and pretty good folks for the most part 
Do you have a manual for the heli? The first thing I would recommend doing with a used heli is to partially, if not completely disassemble it and put it back together properly according to the manual. There's a lot of things you should check on a used heli, but if you're new to everything it may seem a bit overwhelming to tear it down and check everything out. There are PDF versions of the manuals all over the web so if you didn't get one, you should be able to find it online.
It would probably be very beneficial to find a local club and hook up with the folks there. They may be willing to help you go over the heli and will have a better idea of what to look for in the way of problems and maybe save you a lot of trouble.
What was included with the helicopter,do you know the brands/models/specs of any of the equipment in it like the radio, or engine, blades, etc?
