Well, G3.5 is nice, but the real life heli just doesn;t react like the sim and it does wierd things when it wants to unless you are really on it. I wouldn't call it skills, I just like to try new stuff and realize that my actions will have repercussions.
I just wasn't paying enough attention.

Although it goes right over and sits on it's head easy.

Thanks Osterizer, it's just part of learning. I've crashed before and I'll crash again, just the way it is.
