Wonder where I heard this before (as I choke on my own words). I guess if it were EASY...everyone would be doing it eh?

Wnuk,
Very Well said, you took the words right out of my mouth... I was thinking the same thing the other day.
"If it were perfect, you could hover all day long and not have to give it any input" at all (Never happen with the heli) ...Boring... Let's have fun, and fixer up to go.

Getting it handed to us, isn't that what keeps us in this hobby? I think everyone one of us who participated in this thread knows that tinkering/fiddling/fixing brings us as much pleasure as actually flying these things! After every flight I take, I evaluate what went right or wrong and try to think of ways to improve them. Be it mechanically, my stick inputs, you name it. I'm always thinking! I really believe that if things worked perfectly each and every time, we would grow bored rather quickly and move onto something else.

OK...you get this kill then. What got me was the "all of a sudden" thing. I get good height but stability is a little weak...like not enough head speed. I'm in the process of shallowing my pitch to get the head speed back without loosing lift (explain that one 3 times fast). My DD system should be here tomorrow ya know. I also noticed my rotor blades are nearing the end of their useful life. Tail motor drawing excessive current...whoda thought. Normally...they just get weak and die. I just love getting it handed to me...don't you?

Hey, give me partial credit then? I thought that current was your issue
You better turn that gain down, you are burning up a LOT of tail motors!
