Hi Javiwood, Welcome.

Lots of people swear by the Radd's school of rotory flight, but I got more use out of someone's moniker that read- "Fly it like you stole it". Seriously, download one of the simulators like FMS (Free), Clearview ($30), or if you can afford it, get RealFlight. RealFLight has ane Axe CP model in the basic database.

Better yet, do both. I went back and forth between the basic exercises on the plane and trying the next steps on the sim, a habit I still have. If you try the next new maneuver on the sim you can get many of the crashes out of the way there instead of on your real heli. Saves a lot of money.
