Default RE: cx micro spinning to the left

Wow that's frustrating because my house is just too small to really fly my micro the way I want to fly it yet outdoors is bad because no matter what you do you just can't seem to escape the wind! This may sound stupid but I wonder if it has to do with another aspect of wind......like for example I can fly my micro indoors and even with the ceiling fan on or if the air turns on I can still get forward and backward motion unlike if I'm outside and maybe have the same amount of wind. I'm wondering if it has something to do with maybe indoors sort of acting like its own atmosphere, maybe the pressure is different...??? There has to be an explanation to this. I've had mine outdoors before and it will be flying just fine and then all at once I'm fighting the breeze to keep from hitting a tree!

Sometimes outdoors I can't get very much forward or backward motion at all, and in fact sometimes I may as well not even be using the right stick on my transmitter at all! I wish I owned like a gymnasium or something along those lines! Can you imagine the fun we cx micro users would have if we could always fly in a gym?

The thing is since I'm a beginner flier I don't know what heli I should get next. I want a heli that will fly great outdoors but I don't want it to be too hard to control, but at the same time I don't want a helicopter that flies like an airhogs product! Nothing against Airhogs I mean that was the first heli I evr flew and it was a total blast for 30 dollars but I'm way past that now and I'd be bored with a 2 or 3 channel, you know? Could someone refer me to an outdoor heli that is the easiest to fly?I don't want it to be one of those extremely expensive ones either.

The last person whop responded to my post on here was talking about his cx micro and it being modified with a different flybar. If you see this post would you please respond and tell me how that flybar works and what difference it makes by shortening it and making the weights lighter. I know the flybar has to have something to do with stability but I could never really figure all of that out. The reason I say this is because you know real helicopters never have those on them! I guess that is because real helicopters weigh enough to where wind doesn't affect them near as much as it does to light helis like our cx micros.

For some reason I still can't properly disengage my flybar when I need to to change the shaft when it breaks. Now I can put the flybar in fine but I can't pull it out without bending it! My cx micro at the moment has a slightly bent flybar and I've tried the best I can to bend it back properly. Maybe you have some tips for me on that. I'd really appreciate it if you could help me out on that.
