Default shuttle plus first hover!

I flew my shuttle plus for the first time ever today,and generaly it went well.at first the heli would not stop spinning until i realised that the reason it was spinning was the revo compensation!as soon as i got it into the hover it stopped spinning and i managed to hold it for about 3-4 seconds before i had to put it down.I practiced taking off and landing over and over again until i got it in the desirable position to hover,and then i tried a few small hovers,over and over again.all was going well until the heli decided that i was getting too cocky and needed a sharp reminder,whilst taking off,i let the heli climb too high{waist height}and suddenly the wind blew it and it was facing me NOSE IN i panicked ,as i had no idea how to control it nose in,and just pushed the cyclic forward and lowerd the collective.The heli plummeted to the ground going forward and hit the ground still moving forward like an aeroplane,the training undercarriage skidding along the grass!the heli was undamaged but needless to sayi learned to be more respectfull as a result!overall i am pleased with my first flight progress.my only practice was with the free simulator fms{using only the keyboard keys to fly it}does anybody else have any similar tales to tell?
