Okay, is there some kinda trick or some thing, i mean, i've had the aerow hawk, now the e-sky and i still find it amazing how some 1 can keep it hovering in the same place for a length of time, not to mention when they move it forward etc, i mean i just cant do it???? wats wrong wiv me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you have a simulator? If you don't, you should get one. Keep practicing and you will get the hang of it. Micro helis aren't the easiest thing to learn how to fly, they are very unstable compared to the bigger ones.

Try installing a head holding gyro if you have not already. I found it to really help, takes the worry out of one axis.

I bought a dragonfly or clone of ebay I crashed it many times and was also getting frustrated. I really hadn't done much on my simulator and that was the problem. I figured if I could fly the copter around on my Sim I was gtg. Wrong! When you use a sim you have to practice hovering over the square box. Once you can do this on a sim you will be able to on your copter. Also my first copter(dragonfly clone) was very cheap. The head design was inferior. I bought a hummingbird elite series and installed my old radio and mixer on that. This copter flys much more stable. It's head and swashplate design are much better.

So sometimes it can be the copter but if you haven't hovered perfect in a Sim yet then I wouldn't even fly the copter until you can or someone can help you.Constant tail adjustment is needed on mine . I am assuming a better gyro would fix this but instead I just got ued to adjusting the tail on my sim.

Took me about a month but I can now hover in my garage for almost a full pack.Constant throttle adjustment is also needed, you have to learn to do small movements fast and accurate, watch the nose of your copter and always keep the tail facing you for now. When the copter is facing you that is face in hovering and I still stink at that. More sim time needed

hi, thanks that was a real help! yea its taking time i guess, but im so impatient, when i see some 1 else flying it gr8 i think i can do it coz they make it look SOOO easy! i did think about starting off on a big heli but then i thought.... '''what? am i crazy! i want to learn on a massive heli?what if i crashed it! expensive...etc) so i got a small one! well i guess i'll keep practising.
p.s i bet no one here will no this but i'll ask any way....has any one heard of the SMC (sussex model centre?) in engalnd west sussex????

Yup! I have used them for quite a bit of stuff, very helpfull on the phone and nice people,
although there are better/cheaper places to shop in the UK online

Of course there are many others and it depends what you want as to which might be the cheapest but I have used all ot these with no problems in the past.

And as the rest have said, it can take quite a while to progress into forward flight and aerobatics, just keep practicing
