making your micro mosquito helicopter easier to fly

This instructable will show you a simple way to modify your micro mosquito making it easier to steer left, right, forward, and backward. It will also keep the body of the helicopter from spinning as much. It may not be the best way to prevent this problem, but it is very easy to do and does not require any skill or tools. If this correction does not work as well for you as it did for me it is also easy to undo.

Step 1 Gathering your materials

For this instructable you will need:
-scotch tape (this is what I used, there may be other kinds of tape that work better)
-Micro Mosquito helicopter (duh)

This is a great trick. Really balances it. After replacing the blades twice, another thing I did was to put epoxy on the blade tips where they meets the wire ring. Not only does it reinforce it, but balances them like the tape does. Now if only you could solve my problem with the trim controls, I'd be extremely grateful.

I just got the micro mosquito for christmas, so I am still discovering new problems with it. I've noticed that I have to adjust the trim quite often during flight, since the batteries run down fast.

I had some problems steering my helicopter, so I looked on the internet for solutions and someone said to wrap thin wire around the circle thats around the blades. I did not have any thin wire to do this (I was too lazy to wrap the wire around and around), so I figured that tape would work just fine. Here is the website that tells about the wire though...
