I fly an Evo 50 and drive Evo 8 haha. I had no prior experience with building or flying helis (i never hovered with my HBK, only slid it around on the floor to get used to it). So Evo is truly my first heli build/flight. I had no problems building and setting it up. Did everything myself without anyone checking over the heli before flight. I setup all the transmitter stuff too. It turned out to be adjusted so perfectly (or close to it) that i didn't need to trim or change anything in flight. It flies easy and stable too.
here's a link to my build thread:

i followed the manual all the way to the percentages of throttle and pitch curves specified, and it hovers at exactly mid-stick.
