Default RE: E-FLITE BLADE CP PRO

i remember on the airplanes that i flew you chould actualy manualy set some "expo" by changeing the angle of the control arm, or am i not remembering correctly, anyways, should i try and re level that swashplate with a level control arm or not?
Someone more knowledgable than me correct me if i am wrong...but i believe that doing this doesnt give a true expo but would just give you a linear setting still with a lessened slope. essential helping in the same way by making the inputs on the controller make less of a difference yet taking away travel at the max controller input....ie less sensitive right stick but less total cyclic range...not actual expo....
I thought of trying this however since i cannot afford a controller upgrade at this time I decided not to and to just learn to be more careful with my input on the stick.

Also moejoe I am glad to hear someone else on the tread is totally new too. I probably should give it a go outside i notice my bird stays put much better at about chest high inside and away from the walls...I just know that I will have a hard time sticking to learning all orientations of hover and then will wind up flying off and then getting disoriented and SMASH....more $$$
Hey moejoe have you learned nose-is hover yet...I am struggling to get my brain and thums togeather on this one.....Have any advice for me?

Jellyson, Late night I found a telebee/zoom gyro on ebay $45 $5ship...$50 to my front door....also ordered parts for DD...
I think this hobby is going to get real expensive since I love to tear stuff dow and tinker....(first thing I did when I bought my used revo truck with bb motor in it off ebay was strip it down every single piece of the thing..lol) I am trying to avoid doing to much with the heli...trying to focus on learning to fly
