Do it outdoors mate! More room! It'll be easier and you won't destroy your heli as easily!

The room I fly in is around the same size but my heli is about 10 times smaller and I often run out of room.

You need to try it outside as there isnt space to swing a cat, let alone a CP2

As you take off try and use the rudder to keep the tail pointing towards you, once your in the air the gyro should take over. If you already side on when you lift off it makes it much much harder to keep control.

LOL

At least you have got the hang of cutting the power when you get into trouble.

[Sqwidge]

yeah but cutting the power is a bad habit to have if your in idle up lol, he will naturally just pull down without hitting idle first, i was taught to power up and regain control
