Trying electric.
 
Okay my nitro Hirobo Shuttle discouraged me and I was going to give it away. No one local wanted it and I don't have time to ship it. yesturday I bought an E-Flight Blade CP and to my amazement I was able to fly it right out of the box. Anyone else think it may be that the Blade is set up properly and my Shuttle was slopped together? So do I! I am going to keep the Shuttle for later. So among about 1000 other things. Where can I read up on proper set up? Also my sucess with the Blade CP includes short hops, flying around the house slowly while I walk behind it aproximately 5 to 8 ft off the ground without landing (=4 right hand turns), A hop over my car landing on the other side. Obviously I need to work on hovering in (close) to one spot and standing in one spot while I fly instead of walking behind it. I do have a simulator and have practiced to the point where I can do more on the sim than I can do with the real heli (piroet stall turns(sp?), Rolls, Loops, Inverted Hovers, etc.) What should I be working on with the Blade CP (equiped with the flat bottom blades)?

hovering in all directions, FF is easy till you need to turn, and hovering in all directions will really help with that.
