I Think I May Actually Be Able To Do This !

Good Morning Guys,
This morning was the first chance I had to fly my Blade CX2 since Sunday as well as since you gentleman have graciously offered advice! Well I am happy to report that this morning, I was able to somewhat hover under control (notice I said somewhat or I least I thought I was in control) at 1-2 feet and maintain inside of a square approx 48'' by 48''. I realize that I have a LONG LONG way to go ! I will say that I also felt as though my airframe was never in jeopardy! Havent been able to say that before! If I ever felt like I was not going to be in control in a second. I landed whether I was in the box or just outside (quickly realizing that is the best approach!!) Anyway thanks again guys for all the suggestions and keep them coming !!
Steve

good job! I know the feeling - guarded success - I can say from my experience that once I finally got to where you are - it's more fun and improvement start to come much more quickly

Good for you, I know the feeling. Getting the basics nailed is the most important part of this hobby, take it easy and push yourself when you feel you have to...its only by pushing a bit that you learn more...but at your own pace.

Take it easy with the battery(s) land and recharge when your heli loses power....flying it to the max will ruin a LiPo battery....if you use spare batterys it pays to let the motors cool a little before taking to the skies again. These type motors are not high performance as such...but treated well they last a long long time.
