Hi Ravacopter,

You will notice more luck with the larger copters. The heavier they are the more inertia they have, which makes it take more of a push from the rotor blades to get it to change direction. That's how it works for real helis too. So the smaller it is the more jumpy it is. I can tell you from experience, if you're looking at eventually going to a larger size real heli, I would skip any of the smaller CP models and go straight to a Blade 400. The CP models are pretty hard to fly. Check out rchelicopterfun.com The guy who wrote the website has a wealth of info and a couple ebooks that show you how to tame down your heli. He also has a training program that will show you how to learn to fly your heli with a severely reduced risk of crashing it. Its how I'm learning and I haven't crashed yet. I'm up to full hover for the full life of the battery. Then you can go back to the sim to practice more high risk maneuvers. That guy also has some info on the MCR, how to tame it down and speed it up.

Hope this helps.
