I just maidened mine, and after hearing everyone tell me how hard it was gonna be, i found it quite easy to hover.

I skipped the step about scooting around without lifting off and just throttled up and took off. Hovered for about 10 seconds, then put it down. Spent the first battery just hovering, and second flight i moved into forward flight, just doing laps around my yard and figure 8's under the trees.

3rd flight i turned a 5 gallon bucket upside down and landed on that a few times, landed on the roof of the car, wove around stuff in the driveway, but this was at 9:30, so it was kinda dark.

I flew in the living room a little on the second flight, just to see how different it was in perfectly still air.

I have an aerobatic kit on backorder, and cant wait for it. It's really tempting to put it inverted, but i dont think it will hold altitude.

This is the first heli i ever flew, and i really like it! I cant wait to fly something with a driven tail though[:'(] trimming the tail rotor as the battery dies is annoying


Heli's are fun though!!
