Trying to keep my CX2 from sliding to the left in a hover
Ok as soon as I get my CX2 off the ground it wants to slide to the left I checked the Aileron trim and it's in the center???
I did try and slide it to the right some but it still goes to the left but not as bad???
Ok just did a search I think I need to get my swashplate level I will try this out to see what happens[

RE: Trying to keep my CX2 from sliding to the left in a hover
Swash level is a second consideration. Helicopter level is first. Adjust the linkages so the helicopter hovers. The linkage has to be turned about 6 turns to equal moving the slider from center to fully one direction. I mean, if the heli hovers with the slider all the way to the end of its travel, center the slider and turn the linkage about 6 turns. And fine tune it from there so all the sliders are centered and the servo arms are 90° to the linkages and the helicopter hovers nicely. That gives you a good starting point. If the swash is off a little, remember you aren't flying the swash, you're flying the helicopter. The swash is a big deal on a single rotor CP, but for coaxials and fixed pitch you adjust for a good hover.
