I picked up Reflex XTR. Great program! A bit expensive though. Plus I had to purchase a used TX because it doesn't come with one and you can't use the one that came with the blade. The guy gave me a good deal on a broken JR XP662. It just has a messed up program switch that doesn't need to be repaired to work with the software. And he sold it to me for $20.

It's been a great help with practice. I can hover (most of the time) with the actual blade and I only have a 5' x 5' area in my home office to practice in.

I'm still practicing hovering facing the front of the heli using the simulator. Reflex has hover practice mode.

Also, I have a lot of trouble with controlled flight. Put simply, once I get moving I have no control over where the helicopter goes. I can keep it up in the air easy enough, but I need a lot of practice with flying it in the direction I want it to go and MOSTLY stopping it and hovering again. Once I get it moving even basic steering goes out the window.

I just wish I knew someone in my area I could get some tips from. The person that got me into the hobby has a Hirobo XRB, which is nothing like flying a CP single blade. His is Fixed Pitch with counter rotating blades. Hovering is as easy as throttling up. I'll have to talk to the guy at the hobby shop and see if there is a club around the area I can join.
