After "tail in," it helped me to learn "tail out" next, to get the control reversal down pat. That seemed to make the side-in hovering easier for me to handle, so I tackled that last. It's come in handy... if I'm sideways and get into a panic, I'm just as comfortable moving to tail-out as tail-in, to make a recovery. Of course, I'm talking about a CX here, whereby just letting go of the transmitter will allow a recovery. I'm about to get into a CP (Pro) and I doubt many of my skills are going to transfer. Just the one where I scream when it's gonna hit. I've got that down pat, and it'll apply to any heli I end up flying. Neall
