After putting my e-sky honeybee fp back in the box and on the shelf, I am very impresed with the Blade I have had it for a couple of days now and am starting to realize once out of ground effect it smooths out nicely. Its kinda weird, I could be wrong, but it seems like ground effect kinda pushes the heli down then it will "pop" off the ground a little. I have found that if I concentrate I will get to that almost flying point and lift off to about four or five feet above the ground and it is much more controlable. if I barly move the stick and slowly lift off it is all over the place. If I can keep from going down hard and breaking the blades on the boom I would have a lot more flying time. fun copter Keep the thread going , good info here. Dave
