How do we correct the tilt to left or right when trying to lift off. It starts to lift then just falls to either side. Does anyone have any tips on this?

Happens to me too, this model is very hard to trim out and fly. if you can, RETURN it and get a different one. Mine will not hover straight up from the ground. Wish I could return mine but AMAZON won't let me

I've run into this myself. Something is not balanced. Try a hobby shop for repair. , there eager to help and looking to make the sale. I wish I purchased from the local guy for just that reason

Hi Dr. Mark it is really hard to do it. I was unable to do it. I had to have my brother come and help me and try to figure it out. He was able to do it but then just last week after one week of it staying on it fell down. I wish I could help you with it but you just need to turn it and then it is suppose to hold. The directions are very poor so it does not help much. Sorry.

Our mounting plate only has two holes. Not sure what is meant by backwards tilt. When placing on or off lift up and out. Hope this helps

Curious problem. In testing mine, I encountered no trouble in opening the umbrella. In cranking the lifter, I simply continued to crank beyond the tilt mechanism until the umbrella was tight. The tilt mechanism was locked in the upright position. That locking mechanism is pretty straight forward and intuitive. If you still don't succed. please get back to me. RWM

It doesn't say anything in the directions, but the blades have to go on a specific way in order to get lift. I had that problem once before. If you only have 3 motors run it won't fly...that's a different problem. The right front and left back rotors go on in the same direction, and the left front and right back the oppose of the right side. That's for the rotors (blades). I hope this helps.

That puzzeled me as well. The picture here shows it facing the other way. When I received it I put it on the way it had to go, used it and then began to wonder why it was "backward". Took it apart but realized there is only one way it goes. My issue is that the balance seems off, bag tips over too easily if it shifts while I play. J

mine doesn't adjust, it is set to the tallest. When I try to lower it, nothing moves? Does anyone know why? Thank you

you keep cranking it open and it will auto tilt, mine does it on its own now :-/

need to tweak it while on the ground. which means to keep it from spinning left or right.have it running to see which direction its going. then turn the tweak knob the opposite way. that should set it right

Mine does tilt but it was VERY stiff to change angle. Just tried it again and was able to adjust but still very stiff

I'm considering a Bowflex, and have the same issue. Do you think it's possible to tilt the machine back, insert the vertical beam, then return it to a vertical position and screw the parts together? Thanks.

Obviously pulling the handle up with raise & lower. To operate the tilt, pull the handle straight out horizontally. This will allow you to rock it. Bring the seat back to an upright position, push the handle back in horizontally and it will lock. Hopefully this helps you!

You just have to be gentle with it. I think I had mine get stuck a bit. Make sure it's closing the right way. Might be your best bet is to squeeze both ends of one side where it rotates. Just be careful not to break it. :)

I have no idea. I never could find a definitive answer anywhere. Even the box doesn't state which side is up. I used mine both ways and I honestly never noticed a difference either way.

Ditto, worked great initially. No one In town knows how to fix mine.My husband watched the lift brushes and noticed they were not moving up and down so he ftled a little bit of the plastic and it is working now.However we wait every day for it to die.

Went though the same and still do at times. Reason is when I hook and unhook / change the equipment one will without knowing twist the cable. You can fix it by taking the weight pin out, pull down the cable a little and just twist it in which ever direction it needs to go to unsnarl or you can go to back of the machine and unhook which will do the same. Now if you are going to the back get someone to help you as it could be a safety issue (Not a serious one) without some help. I now just pay a attention that I do not twist the cable. Use of either method that I mentioned will correct the problem. Good Luck. Went though the same and still do at times.
