So it's just a matter of you skilled pilots flying on instinct rather than having to consciously think about every input you make. My boyfriend is into R/C cars and he showed me how to drive them. Compared to helis, they are incredibly easy to maneuver. Adding that 3rd dimension makes everything so much more confusing! I have much to learn and will keep practicing whenever I have free time (if I can't beat him in cars, then I'll best him in flying!). Having the new lithium battery really helps since I can keep flying for longer periods, but they are pretty expensive...

I see that some of you have added tail fins to your helis. What does that accomplish? Does it make the heli more stable? It certainly looks prettier with a splash of color!
