The main thing for me in learning the CP+ was to keep the nose pointed away from me at all times while hovering. If i got into trouble and got a little mixed up i just pointed the nose away imediately and got it back under control. The CX is easy to hover nose in or out, when you make a mistake it will right itself where the CP wont. Kind of misleading when you can fly a CX nose in then try it on the CP its a whole different ball game. Once i was hovering good i started slowly hovering/flying around the yard about 7ft off the ground with the nose pointed away. Then started flying figue 8's about 20-30ft off the ground running at a good fast speed. At first it actually was easier to fly the figure 8's than it was to hover i thought. Just feels more comfortable when your moving forward fast then when you are hovering. The main thing on the figure 8's is to lean it into the corners, almost turns itself.
