Hi,
Newbie here so be gentle.
I've tried searching but can't find an answer.
I've just received a Syma X5C as a present and have been trying to fly it but cannot get it to hover.
Before you all bang your heads against your keyboards - I don't mean it drifts from side to side,
I've seen plenty of posts about that.
I mean that after carefully setting it up as per instructions I bring the throttle up slowly
It rises a few centimetres then takes off in one direction at pretty much full speed.
This is how it's been since it's first "flight".
It appears to be suicidal but I promise I haven't given it any reason to be.
In the air it's constantly on the move.
Returning the control levers to the central position just results in it heading off into the distance.
I know you're supposed to "learn by crashing" but this just doesn't seem right.
Am I missing something?
