yeah, with the fuel tubing in there, sometimes stick movement is so smooth it's hard to notice yourself changing collective while jockeying the tail. it is a good idea to get used to flying without the detent though, since controls are ultimately more precise without detent.

a good pilot can even get a rock to fly smooth, so you may still want to experiment with your throttle curve. i've flown my heli with all sorts of throttle curve settings and have found that higher pitch/lower RPM tend to be less sensitive around hover. that will help make the yoyo less snappy if you will.
