Default CP Pro Trouble

hi there. i am fairly new to RC Helis.
i have been flying a CX2 for several months and just recently bought a used CP Pro. For some reason when i go to lift off is flies to right as if i gave it full right stick (to the right).
i have tried the pot and the gain to no avail. the servos seem to work ok and the guy i bought it from said its flown 3 times.
i guess that doesn't mean they were 3 smooth flights...
any help/ideas would be appreciated.
tia

Default Re: CP Pro Trouble

is there any damage to the prop?

what about weight?

there are alot of problems that could be the cause, you'll just have to go through it systematically

Good luck!

The problem? Most likely the weathervane effect. Basically, the helicopter wants to drift in one direction when it is low to the ground.

I'm no heli expert, but your swashplate might be out of adjustment too.....

Ask around in the heli forums. The experts in there are much more helpful than us plane guys.
