Default RE: Is this CX2 for me, or should I return it?

I have to agree with all the opinions and advice above. The CX2's co-axial design gives it supurb stability, so you picked a great heli to learn the basics on.

I also have very little room to fly indoors, which this helicopter is designed for. But that actually forced me into becoming better at the controls right from the beginning. Mastering a stable hover and precise stick control was essential to keep from running into walls, furniture and pets. (Keeps the wife happier too, also essential in this hobby lol.)

When you have chances to fly outside on CALM days, or in larger buildings like a gymnasium, vehicle maintenance garage, etc., you'll be amazed at how fun this little bird is to fly, with very good control, in the "unlimited" airspace. You'll still run into "turbulance," though, around large forced air heaters and and furnace ducts if the fan's on, so be careful in those areas.

There are plenty of guys here who can answer your questions to keep you in the air. Just ask. Hang in there, give it a chance. Hopefully you'll find the challenge fun and rewarding.
