Why does my RC helicopter always roll right?
hey,
I Bought myself a really cheap RC Helicopter, the Dragonfly 4, and whenever I try and take off the heli wobbles like mad and then suddenly lifts and rolls sharply to the right.
Adjusting the trim all the way to the left seems to do nothing.
what could be causing this problem?
sounds like a cheap personal problem. Invest in something better that is good quality.

part of it is its a cheap toy
most toy makers don't understand that a helicopter is a complex machine requiring delicate balance to fly right
another part is the main rotor's motor is overpowering the tail rotor by too much torque
the trim won't help much as you need to counter the main's torque
to get a more stable performance
take it to an RC store and ask them if theres a way to further adjust
it so you can learn to fly heli's before you put a ton of money down on a high end model

p.s. It might be broken

Really there are several reasons why your heli could be doing that… how cheap was it? Actually i guess it doesn't matter.. I bought a $20 one and still can fly it. Take it to a shop.
