First...don't rush it. Do it only when you can land your heli delicately anywhere you choose, anytime you choose. Wait to take your training gear off until you are in control of the heli, not that you're just reacting to it and can make it do stuff.

Then, once you do remove it, be ready for a happy experience. The heli will be more responsive, probably more stable in the hover and will look great.

Enjoy and good luck.
