Thanks a lot solo! I am far from satisfied with my hover but can keep the aircraft in a 20X20 area. I believe I was helped by my knowlege that no helicopter requires much input at all and that simply muscling it around does not work, you truely have to nudge it where you want it. I went with the CP Pro because I like the challenge and like the thought that if I learn on a hard one, I will be less damaging on a bigger and more expensive helo. May be flawed logic but I am going with it! My CPP has the Bell-Hiller upgrade as well (bought used... with a lot of parts).

I know that many want to fly the real thing, I was very fortunate, the Army paid for my flight training and the first 1, 400 hours of Huey and Chinook time, the USCG paid for the 2,000 hours of HH-65 time. And yes, when learining the Huey, I remember looking at the tower through the greenhouse on more than one occasion. But rest assured, while I was flying 0 scale aircraft, I always wanted to get into RC helos, only weeks ago did I decide what the hell and did it!

Thanks for the welcome! I am busy finding information here, and can offer no RC advice specific but can certainly offer information as it translates from 0scale helos and aerodynamics.

I have already been eyeing other helos in my trips to the "parts dept" of my hobby store!
