Pitch, I have one easy way to make your heli more stable and save you money in the long run is to buy a set of Plasti Blades. They are flat bottomed and heavier than the symetrical wood blades that come with the Pro. Before I even got my heli, I bought a set online (helidirect.com) knowing I would crash and most likely break the blades. Sure enough, I had a very minor confrontation with mother earth and broke one of the blades. The next day my plasti blades arrived and lo and behold, it wasnt like balancing a greased ball bearing on a plate anymore, just a regular ball bearing They track near perfect and balance perfectly right out the box too. I only had to make a minor tweak to the trim and this sweetheart makes me look better than I am. Also, for some reason, maybe its just me, learning to fly in a smaller space, like my garage, is a lot easier, I make more corrections and my hover is starting to stay within a 3x3 space for several minutes, vs outside I tend to let the bugger wander thinking I can bring it back. Ive only been flying for a week so take all of this with a grain of newbie salt, but be patient and keep it close to the ground.
