Well its still in one piece which is always a good day. She is looking stable in the air and the tail appeared to be stable so all is good.

So far so good. Were you doing the small counter clockwise circle? Reminded me of a small Blade helicopter.

I have been doing piros on this kit now for about a month and a half. Trying to get them slow enough so I can get used to seeing the nose.

not quite ready on the new bird! just a little tail drift, I'd let it go for a quarter turn then fix it. Ive flown it again after small adjustments but the wind was bad, so 30 seconds in I droped it down hard on the skids. The wind was pushing me so I panicked. That cost me a skid.

Thankfully it was just a skid and nothing more. Make sure you have a MAX of about 3º of negative pitch at low stick in normal mode. That will help you when you have to cut the throttle all of a sudden. I suggest something like 45 48 50 75 100 on the normal pitch curve.

ok I'll Check my throttle curve, less -pitch in normal flight mode. Thanks!
