Try not to do the second crash tomorrow

Im glad you got it all built up again, next time you will get it fixed in no time

Have fun

That's the spirit!!!

The first few flights with the Blade ended in crashes for me too and the inevitable rebuild! It's great when something you've rebuily actually flies though and once the flying bit "clicks", you'll be away!

All the best

The learning process is slow but once acheaved you will love the hobby.

Try not to get it to 15 feet again. 3-4 feet is really ok. Focus on hovering (2-3 sec only to begin with) and gradually built it to 20 sec (may take you a couple of days) If heli drifts left or right let it - do not worry. That control will come later.
Good Luck
