RE: Been Practicing...
I know exactly what you are describing. The first time I flew, and felt like I was in control the whole time, I really felt great...
It's funny.... When most people first try a CP heli (me included), after that first flight, they're thinking it might not be possible to learn to control that beast. However, it really doesn't take very long until you start to notice major progress. At least, that's how it has been for me.
