I definitely agree with what the post above me says! I had similar problems getting my 120SR to hover. Took me a solid two days (couple hours a day) to get used to it. The 120SR (and I'm assuming the mSR) is VERY succeptable to rotar wash and dirty air down low. If I launch my 120SR from my hand, up about 4 or 5 feet, it's a DREAM to hover and needs no stick input. Off a table or the ground takes more effort, a lot more for my 120SR. I find even after two weeks,I can't do a slow lift off, I have to shoot it up about three feet and it balances nicely. Try holding it in your hand and powering it up, then letting go when you feel it wanting to go up. Worked for me.
