Great!

Remember that you'll need to trim out the heli.

It will tend to move around when low to the ground, because of all of the air it is disrupting.

After 2 feet or more above a smooth surface you'll find it starts to get very stable, but will need trimming.

Maintaining a constant altitude will often require constantly alternating between one click and another on the throttle.

It takes a while to learn all of this.

Concentrate on taking it up, trimming it so it does not turn when level, then land and take off to a hover again.

Watch the behaviour as it heads up and down, you may see a tendancy to turn one way as it moves up, and another as you decend. This is not unusual.

Once you have this down, bring it up into a hover, push the nose forward for a tiny bit and release to start forward flight.

It may decend as it moves forward, and you'll need to increase throttle another "tick" to keep it level.

Pull back for an instant and it should slow down and potentially rise.

All of this takes some getting used to...

However if you want to learn how to fly Heli's the CX's are a great start.
