Default Sluggish control for FP

Hi.

Just a few words. Just got a FP to fly around the house for the winter. Found out that the heli's responses are so sluggish.
It takes about half to 3/4 of a second for the heli to respond to the control inputs. Just for the heck of it, i had decided to try a
small mod on it. I cut a very small circle out of a piece of thin rubber, shimmed that between either end of the yoke shaft inside
the middle of the head and blade grips. What a big difference after. The responses from the heli is now much faster and less
unstable. Also, i heated up the tail rotor and decreased the pitch a little bit. It made the tail stay straight with the rudder trim stays
at the center. If you constantly have to hold the rudder to the left, try that, but very little at a time.
