You will find that a nice open area, like a field or park area this thing becomes awesome....

Amazing how fast this thing can get. To date it is my all time fav fixed pitch heli

how are your swash settings? is it level?

what transmitter are you using?

Using the standard controller and the outside balls on the swash and level. When i say bored inside i meant sick of flying in a small space and hitting walls etc. Outside not a single crash and loving. The wind gusts make it interesting. My back yard is pretty big but when a gust hits it blows it over some of the neighbours places. Wind is odd, it is perfectly calm and no wind then woosh once gust comes and goes.Thanks goodness i could get it back and fight the wind. I will go brushless one day. Does it make it more responsive ( i find it responsive enough ) or just it just give it more power.
I have plenty to learn before changing it around too much.

both, controllability increases even more if you put a brushless tail on it.
