Larry,

i wasnt sure how to do it at first either, i tend to over complicate things sometimes its pretty easy though, just take the prop from the right motor, flip it over and put it on the left motor. take the prop from the left motor, flip it over, and put it on the right motor. do a test try before tossing it for the first time, just to be sure they're spinning the right way. no soldering or motor wire swapping needed.

sirsid,
ah come on now, its only 30 bucks when i first got mine they almost flew away too a few times, but i soon learned to fly at low altitude if it was windy. actually, even if it was calm outside, i rarely climbed higher than 20 or 30 feet, i found it much more entertaining to see how low i could fly than how high i could fly (there's nothin to crash into way up in the sky, but pleanty of things ground level to try to avoid hitting - beware of swimming pools!).

as you already know, you cant steer without throttle applied. but, i found a very effective way to turn when trying to come back down. with the throttle off, i push the right stick to the left or right, whichever way i want to turn, and hold it there - i then blip the throttle on for just a second or two, then back off. this makes it so the moment the props start spinning, you're already turning, and the throttle is on for such a short amount of time, you dont gain any altitude. i was able to get my single wing plane down form WAY high up by doing this, it works pretty well.
