Mike, when I first tried the Impala trainer I thought it was on drugs, or that I should be! It requires "small" corrections on the cyclic, when you see it going (eg) left apply a little right but be ready to apply some left to make up for the amount you over corrected! I can now (after 8 weeks) hover any of the G2 helis in any of the directions. I've just bought a Feda/Hummingbird which is a bit like flying the "Sean Picollo" model you can download or the 0.049 Finch thingo on G2. It's going great but only because of the practice on G2. Also what stick grip are you using ? I was a thumb man until I got into helis and now I pinch using the thumb and forefinger, makes a difference too.

Good luck !
