What made me nervous was reading too much. All the fly aways and crashes. I am always very careful how and where I fly. Always flying within my abilities and pushing it slightly more each time.

So are you nervous when you fly, is this a feeling that stays or it goes away after a certain time. I'm nervous when I get it high in the air, I'm nervous when it goes too far. It seems the only time I'm not is when it's around me.
What do you guys think ?

Want to have absolute control and experience before i take it higher than i feel comfortable with.

Musicman said:Yeah, i'm staying way of the ground, but taking it up to 30 meters and beyond is still uncomfortable for me, not so much for pilot error, but more mechanical failure. Need to trust it first
Lower to the ground i'm not nervous at all, the flying goes pretty well. no crashes and lots of trees.
It's just the hight...
had a AR drone before this, and it happened once that a battery had a loose connection, and it came down..
Still have that feeling with me when i go up hehheh
Buckaye said:I have been flying RC heli's for a while - and I have bouts of nervousness. If I haven't flown in a while... I get nervous. If I am trying a new thing... I get nervous. If I crash doing something I thought was correct... I get nervous flying for a while. The nervousness for me goes up in direct correlation with the amount of $$ I have in the air
