Wow!..Just got my Honeybee King 2....Flew great right out of the box until I
had a small mishap.

I was hovering fine in my garage when I landed it. The Heli slid sideways
and the blades hit a chair. Broken blades..No biggie I think.

With a new set of blades installed I now am having a big problem!

The Heli will rise and then just do left hand pirouettes.
So I realize this is tail authority problem; right?

I've played with the tail servo location, trying to FORCE a right hand
spin..No Go! It still spins left!

Tried to adjust the HOV PIT & PIT TRIM..It helps a little but still No go!

The new blades are slightly longer than the originals, but I can not believe
this is the problem.

Bad Gyro maybe? I'm told no.

Any help out there?

RTF=Ready to Fly? Ha..More like Really Terribly frustrated!

Joe,
If you had a blade strike hard enough to break the blades, the feather
spindle shaft and main shaft are probably bent.
Check this out then balance and track the new blades, then check for
tail rotor damage and belt binding.

Remove the blades. Then use a 5.5mm deep socket and turn one of the nuts
you see in the blade grips. Where the blade went into the grip. If the
other side wobbles you bent the feathering shaft. Very common.
Remove it and gently hammer it flat again on sonething like an anvil.
Avoid hitting the ends which are threaded.
Use your manual to see how to put back the thrust bearings.
You can get the deep sockets at Autozone online.
Here.
