RE: scared to fly
Use training gear!
You never know what a new heli will do the first time you take off. And after a few minutes of spinup and or hover shut down and check the screws. You don't want to lose a heli because of a loose screw or some other minor thing.
Also if your gyro would happen to be reversed the heli will spin like crazy and that will result in a tipover most of the time.
Good Luck!
