| I had a lot of trouble until I figured out that my gyro was crapped out. Once I put on a gyro that worked I was able to hover,bounce, hover,bounce. if you go to my youtube vids at the begining you can see the lack of control from the gyro issue, and then after the gyro worked.
But even once I got the tail locked down good enough for the hovering, I still pushed it too much and crashed way too often. That is my style though, no patience, wanted it yesterday, hey lets try this. that kind of stuff.
Now my neighbor went from the blade cx2 to the 400 and he is VERY cautious. He has had only a couple of minor crashes and is hovering fairly well.
So take it for what its worth. It depends on your pocket book, patience(sp?), time on the sticks, aggressiveness. They are all variables in crash vs flight time. And EVERYONE is different. You just have to find what works for you.
This is not a team sport, its just you and the machine.

well anyway, i was just wondering whats an average for you guys of crashes before you actually had your first successful hover? how many crashes have you guys had through out the years? Will this get easier? talk to u guys soon
or maybe not
