Mine flew right out of the box. Didn't even have to adjust any trims on the Tx. I might lower the gyro gain as there was a little bit of tail wag in normal mode, but it went away in idle-up. I should have used training gear because my only other CP experience is about 6 battery packs on an Esky King V2. But I thought "what the heck" and went for it. No problems at all. Very nice and stable, even with some wind. I switched to idle-up just to see what happens, but usually keep it in normal mode since I'm just starting. Welcome to the club and let us know how it goes!
