chopperdudes, don't tell me that now. i just finished the maiden and discovered the old motor i installed was dead; it was too weak to do anything but hover. i was starting to get excited when zeroed in on the sweet spot & i got the wag to go away. now i'm hoping when i replace the motor i won't start finding random problems like yours when i start to fly it around.

p01rogue, again, i understand your frustration. mrasmm is right, the stock motor lacks the power to work with very high gains. the gws cn12-rxc (aka gws edp50x) DD motor and 3x2 prop is what you need. when you start logging hours on that trex, your blade will be replaced by your new "mother ship". once that nervous fear of crashing is transfered on to the trex, you'll probably find your blade more fun to fly.
