I think it's just dumb thumbs with some performance anxiety!
also, I'm getting disoriented with the heli when I pull out of the loop.

Maybe, I'll just stick to the pirouttes and stall turns......

besides, I got another little project to keep me busy, I picked up a Hornet II off ebay for $40. Curiousity got the best of me, I wanted to see the difference between tail motor, belt drive, and shaft drive. Yeah, I know there's a reason the evolution of Micro Helis has gone to belt drive..... but like a slow child, you can tell me a hundred times the stove is hot, but I'll never learn until I actually burn myself
