| If the skids and the tail boom are parallel with the ground when you hold it by the flybar, then it is balanced and that is not your problem. A heli is inherantly unstable, and will never hover hands off, but if it always flys backward when you have it several feet in the air, then your problem is trim. Try taking it up a few feet, see which direction it trys to move, then land and adjust your trims. Keep doing this until you get it trimmed. If when it is flying backward, you compensate with the elevator, and it starts going forward, then you are overcontrolling. If your transmitter has exponential or adjustable travel volume, you can adjust them to make it less sensitive, but mostly it just takes a lot of practice.
