Hi, I am not talking about moving on from the CP Pro, in fact after not using it much this summer I have had it flying the best I ever had lately( knock on wood!). I would like to know when some of you pilots decided to remove your training gear and also when you just went for it and flew it out away from yourselves? Oh, and I wonder what happened on your first free flight? I have been flying electric planes for a couple of years, not real good I still have to recover the odd flight from a tree. I have been flying heli's on a sim for four months or so and am really comfortable on the sim. I can hover my CP Pro solid for as long as I want tail in, not as confident to the sides and nervous nose in. I can move it out , back and all around myself hovering. I'll go out from myself about ten feet, turn it towards myself then come back nose in. I find I stay in the best control when I walk behind it as I go around the yard. I can hover at any height although I find I spend most of my time hovering and walking my heli around the yard waist to head high. I hope some of you share your experiences and maybe give me or others that little boost of confidence to fly not hover. I guess when you read my limited flight skills you may offer some suggestions or comments and those would be great to. Thanks in advance, Rick
