I'm having a problem with my Air Hogs Reflex rc helicopter. When I apply throttle it lifts and begins a counter clockwise circle. It's not spinning on its axis, its not a trimming problem. Left to continue, it will eventually circle faster and faster then crash.... any ideas?
By the way, it did this before I started modifications....

Jim, I had a similar problem, there was a small amount of human hair wrapped around the motor shaft of the tail rotor that must have gotten picked up during a powered "crash". After removing the hair, (it was 4" long!) with pointed nose tweezers, the helicopter began flying right. -EM49 (Mike).
