nose in is tough use the solo for that  to bad you didnt read the forums as you probably woulda went with the mcpx instead of that 450.  if your doing flips and stuff then your doing good or your very lucky, then again some learn quicker than others i  still havent tried inverted with any of my 450 and up helis  only my mcpx. i know finless bob on heli freaks has a video on how to take bright orange arm floats and cuts em down and rubber bands em to the skids so he can tell top and bottom theres a video on how to make em all you need is a vacuum bagger and the floaties.  kds sells bright tail blades in which you could put like neon green or orange on tails and even flybar paddles which help. other than that i would say learn nose in its always the hardest.
