Quite an odd "nitro" heli those Kev. They have a teeter head (as most do) 
with teeter rubbers in the usual place, but those rubbers make the heli
fly 
FAR better if they're in a box in the workshop somewhere. In other words, 
get them out.

They also need near electric heli rotor revs too. Anything less than
2000rpm 
will result in it being unflyable without a lot of farting about.

Don't be tempted to increase the (ridiculously small) rotor diameter by 
fitting larger blades either, as this will make the Jr fly like dog ****. 
DON'T be trying auto's first time out either, coz they're "not the best"
for 
them:-)

They're the Robbie R22A of the model world:-)
