Baruwin,
I saw your video with the training gear off, you almost hit the bottle or can about 1 minute into the video, in the street. Your doing great, keep up the good work and keep plugging at it. Also, I noticed that your heli wanted to yaw to the left a little, and you correcting for it, it could have been the wind or maybe ya need a tad tweek on the yaw trim. If it was the wind, ya might try increasing the gain on your gyro a tiny bit.

i was noticin that as i was fllyin, it didnt do that b4 i took the gear off, or at least not as much. the wind was pretty close to head on for the most part. i did take the gear off about 2 min into the flight, wonder if that could have anything to do with it. hopefully it will be a decent day tomorrow and i can start off naked so to speak. its funny, i used to really care less about the weather for the most part, now every mornin when i get up, i check the wind first thing lol.

baurwin,
LOL, I had to comment on the weather thing....same here, never noticed or cared about the wind, before I got into this hobby...
Now, I have two weather stations with wind gauges, I know where every flag is for 5 miles around, and look at trees constantly....LOL
I even researched why wind happens, and have noticed through my own observations that it usually dies down with the sun going down too...so I'm big into flying in the evenings during the summer time...cooler, and usually less wind too..
