After a few weeks training with Phoenix Sim, I bought a BNF Blade 120SR. The coaxials seemed too basic, and I'm hoping this one will be the happy medium (for a while) between coax and full collective pitch.

When I fly it in Phoenix Sim, with the default setup, there is one notch of throttle difference between it falling, or rising quickly into the sky. I've only flown the real-life version a few times, and it is my very first heli, but it appears to have the ability to hover at a semi-constant height.

Are there any setup changes I can make in Phoenix to correct this without changing the rest of it's handling. I'd like to practice my hovering via Sim so I don't risk crashing the real one.

Cam- you mentioned "notch" on throttle. The throttle for a heli should be smooth. If yours is "notched" you need to modify it to smooth so you have a more infinite control on the throttle. I might add that the real 120SR is as sensitve to throttle inputs as the sim 120 SR. Sometimes a little goes a long way, sometimes not. And it is more fun outdoors in very light or no breexe conditions.
