I also just recently got this one. Very hard to fly this little bird, especially compared to my friend's MSR. It leaves me wishing I had gotten the MSR. I have learned one thing though. Make sure your battery is all the way forward. The back side of your battery should go all the way up under the canopy. When I did that mine got much better. It is still hard to fly though, but that's the nature of the beast. Most small FP helis are a handful to fly. Only the MSR is different because they engineered it to be hover stable. From what I've heard these helis are better to train on because they are so difficult. Once you can fly one of these things efficiently you're pretty much ready for anything.
