Well, it's hard to tell what the problem is, but the first place to
start is to make sure that the controls are set up properly.
If you give it enough power to just rise off the ground, it should
mostly just sit there, perhaps drifting slowly somewhere -- but it
should not immediately spin out of control. If it does, something
needs adjusting.
Beyond that, this is a good site on learning to fly a R/C helicopter --
