I read some forum answers to similar questions to my post and tried som
fixes. I did some twisting here 'n there. I carefully sprayed WD-40 t
tail and rotor and cleaned up any excess....

BUT, my problem still exists....
The problem being..... the Pico Z continually rotates in
counter-clockwise direction while still on the floor as I repeatedl
push the right trimmer button.
My conclusion is that my trimmer buttons may not work because I see n
evidence of change while pressing either right or left button.

I think that maybe I should open up the remote unit and have a look-se
but truthfully, I probably wouldn't know what to look for.

Does anyone know of a trim button problem with the Pico Z and/or kno
how to fix it?

I anxiously await any response........           Kapena.....

Come on..... Isn't there anyone out there who can help me?

I am still not able to "TRIM" my Pico Z..... therefore, I've not bee
able to do anything else with it.

Help.....         Kapena......

hold it in your hand apply enough power to hover let go then trim it,
forget about trying to trim it on the floor

Thank You funfly3....... That makes good sense.
The problem is that the Heli doesn't hover long enough to trim AND/O
the trim button does not respond at all.
I have just changed to new batteries and I repeat, the Heli stil
doesn't hover long enough, whirls counterclockwise as it drops an
meantime, the right trim button does not correct.
Does this mean 40 bucks out the window?

I think you have another problem mine will spin round and round in the
hover for at least 5 minutes if the trim is out which gives you plenty
of time to trim it,if it drops to the floor before its trimmed you might
have a battery problem

Honestly? Get a different heli. This thing is a toy and very limited in
its capabilities. Tail rotor motor is not strong and cant compensate
for main rotor torque. In better heli like the Blade CX your can adjust
perfectly the trims.

Honestly? It IS a toy, but it is giving enormous pleasure to thousands
of purchasers, many of whom seem to be RC helicopter builders and
operators. So don't be put off, Kapena, but instead try Mr Funfly's
very sensible suggestion.
