Very normal behavior... I, too, was fustrated in the beginning. while using throttle up, as heli just gets off the ground, you WILL probably have to use the right stick. Just "bump" the stick, otherwise heli goes all over the place. USE THE BUMP METHOD, for ALL inputs, til your mind/ fingers can READ what's going on. Also I found that if you also use the "PINCH" method on the sticks, you will almost naturally bump the sticks. TRY not to get discouraged (easier said than done). Once you get it, it just "clicks". Happy & safe flying...Ken
