Gary,
Your input has been very helpful. I don't own a heli radio yet. I grew up flying airplanes (age 14 thru 17). Then found more interest in the babes

I know helis have come a long way since then and learning something new everyday. I've always been a precision flyer and looking to get as deep as I can get out of the helicopter as I can now that I'm 27. I've spent about 20 hours on G2 over the last year. I've got the oriention down, just about completed inverted orentaion as well. I'm simply trying to learn as much as possible so I can put all the appropriate pieces together. I'm in the middle of reading Ray's authoritave heli manual. Moving to Chapter 4. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks
