            Given the close proximity of all sorts of hard bits that could be expensive, in terms of damage to the heli, well done.

                      Is he one of the voice activated ones? I have one of those, great laugh when you leave him on guard then let somebody who don't expect him walk in the room.

                          Nice 1 mate on hovering just practice thats all,and once you can hover this cp2 then hovering anything bigger like a 450 size will be alot easier as i found when i learned on my twister cp which is identical to yours.Also i found that in the instance of breaking a tail boom,instead of buying new one for like £6.I bought a 1metre length of carbon rod which will cut down into 3 tail booms of 30cm each.The 1m length only costs £2.99 aswell.so works out to £1 for a tail boom. You can buy the carbon rod from fishing tackle stores or your local hooby shop.If you want anymore tipsjust drop me a P.M.
                          Cheers and good luck

                            i started like this and still am like this as i dont get to fly/practice/make a mess of it much, for instance i took it in the yard today, no wind nice and sunny, hovered it for about 15 seconds then lost it and it ended up in the wall, only damage done though was broken blades and one of the servo horns had moved a little so checked everything over and it seems ok bar the blades, cant believe i just bought insurance either the way things are going it seems like £28 better spent in the pub or on more spares

                            Very difficult
                            Over 80mph
                            NO, you can't have a go
