Hi All,
I'm still new to this and crash alot (still!). Kianhon's advice is good, study your manual or download one if you didn't get one. Also read the setup sticky's (and do it again just before setting up your heli - so you don't forget anything like me...lol). Try small hops (no hover) until you think all the problems are gone. Otherwise it cost'$$ + all the time rebuilding + not flying is not nice...I know's it from experience!!
I've just done the DTS mod and can't wait to try properly. I have completly rebuilt the frame and tail setup. I finished 2 days ago but forgot to change the swash-mix before her maiden 'DTS' flight. I got the heli up easy, but crashed immediately when I tried some cyclic input...new blades and feathering shaft now in the mail.
I'm learning what it mean's for this to be 'part of the hobby', so try not to rush things and you'll find thing's will get better once you get a good setup.:clappp
