Don't get me wrong, I can fly my MX450xs just fine, in a scale manner, I put it away because I felt that I didn't see myself getting into it that much anymore and after seeing that kid in action, it almost made me question why I'm hitting a wall trying to learn simple areobatics with it, then it dawned on me, the next time I went to the field with my plane that I found myself mixing the heli inputs in by accident. More of a brain fart, I found myself nudging the elevator backwards to decrease approach speed and man did I use rudder in the turns, I guess that's one good thing heli's teach you, rudder! I have well over 80 flights on it and no crashes, but I need to rebuild the entire head, it's all worn out from flying it soo much. I think I'll rebuild it and play around once in a while, it definately sharpens you skill and reaction time by playing with it.
