A couple things that helped me.

little to no neg pitch, helps make the stick less sensitive.

Also dial in about a neg. 25 - 30% expo on cyclic (elev, airlon)
The same on the rudder too.

Remember, NEVER chop the throttle.


As you get the feel of things, move around a little,

left to right, right to left...then

add some rudder, turn left, fly in sideways in front of you, stop , turn tail in, then right ..and so on.

Some times it's easier if you turn your body with the heli, so your orentation stays the same.

Gradually progress these moves in to figire 8's
Make your 8's bigger and bigger, next thing you know, your flying.

I would save to nose in, till ya get to the 8's

Keep in mind that the last thing you told it to do, will now require the oppsite input to stop it, and ther will be a slight delay befoe it happens. Go easy with small stick movements.

Command and correct.
