Whomever said removing your training gear was a good th... - 
On a sadder note, I was flying in my back yard - to keep the tail from catching in the grass I put down a 3' square 1/4" piece of plywood as a launch pad. Well, I had been lifting off and flying around, then coming back to land on the platform. Around the 15th time, I missed and landed by it instead of on it. Decided to lift off and land on it, but the skid caught in the grass and tipped it over - blade hit the side of the plywood - snapped a blade grip clean off, and broke a ball on the flybar carrier - LHS won't get any in until maybe Thurs. so I ordered one from an eBay store. IT probably won't be in until Thurs or Fri!!!

! It did fly better, didn't it? 
! Much faster response, no funny wiggles from the training gear reacting to the downwash. I did the same thing you did, take-off from 3x3 plywood landing pad, lauched AXE into orbit 
at 30-50ft, hovered above my head 
, went to land on the pad (fast approach, steep decent, missed flair), bounced off pad & stuck tail into soft ground/tall grass, pushed forward on cyclic to "un-stick tail," and flipped AXE on it's head 
! Fastest inverted flight yet, took out both blade grips, tail blade, tweaked flybar 
.
