First thing I tell my friend is that I'm not that good at keeping this thing in one place (mind you that I have only flown my heli in really small spaces or outdoors on windy days) and that he should stay behind me to avoid being struck by the blades should I over correct and fly into him. I spin it up and lift off, as expected I had to correct for tail rotor drift during takeoff and it got a bit squirrely as it came off the ground. But once it got about 2 feet off the ground, it stayed where I put it. [X(] I WAS SOoO0o0o0o ECSTATIC!!!!
Large indoor spaces totally rock. I flew my Blade in my friends 8 bay auto shop with a 30' vertical area. There were no cars, I just had to avoid the lift. I did the best flying there that I have done so far. Having a large space to drift in and no wind really spoiled me. Now I need to build a 40' x 60' shop just for heli flying. LOL
I am pleased to hear that you had such a good time.
