I don't want to sound harsh mate but if that's the truth then your in the wrong hobby.

Can't help with the setup as I'm miles away but your gonna have to find time somewhere if you want to pursue this hobby.

Good luck.

You also need Sim practice, Phoenix is the way to go.

If not it'll only take seconds to destroy her.

I agree 100% with cambs flyer, sim practice and I would say you'd need lesson(s). The Phoenix and Reflex XTR SIMs will give you a good idea of how the real model heli will react. Just remember every time it hit's the floor on the sim and you F4 to reset, in reality that's approx £20 - £30 spent in the model shop on spares to repair it.

£30 i wish!! after my last attempt at a chaos with my 450 it cost me £100, but yeah crashes in the sim are free and there really is no substitute for sim time

[Jackflap]

I did say £30ish. Ok the first one cost me over £100.00 but I took a 240 gyro out in the crash. With Align selling most common parts in multiples this cuts down a bit on the cost for next time.... Looks like Scullet has the help he was looking for. Don't dismiss the sim though...
