flyinsolo11 you will love idle up when you start using it when the heli is just light on its skids flick the idle up switch and then you will see how much better the heli respond's just remember when you land make sure you do not bring the throttle stick all the way down just when it lands turn the idle up off. be carfull if you don't turn the idle up off with it on and throttle stick all the way down you will get full negative pitch pushing the heli into the ground not good.[X(]
