You speak the truth there my friend.

The heli pretty much lives in my truck now along side either my 4* 60, CG Sukhoi, GP Extra 160, Cap232 or Ultimate.

The nice thing about the heli is I can head out to the parking lot during lunch and practice my hovering. It's kinda fun nose in hovering around small trees. Just point the nose at the tree trunk, and circle the tree keeping the nose at the same altitude/atitude, sorta like drawing a line around the trunk. Hard as heck but it's turning out to be tons of fun and seems to be helping me a lot with stick control. I thought of getting a battery operated (read that as cheap) laser pointer that works well in bright sunlight, taping it under the heli, then putting a 1 inch wide piece of tape around the tree and keep the laser on the tape.

It's definitely helping me with flying my planes. I consider myself to be a good plank pilot, but I am seeing more precise control of the plane.
