had same prob had to get up high enough real fast (about 2-3 feet)so it wouldnt wash itself out in small area much easyer without the balls

I got the sabre.. You think I should try it with out the balls?
When I get it out of its wash its much easier.. but still not stable.. seems to have a lot more input than I would like.. they said there is an adjustment for it... but the holes need to be drilled out more

Stay with the balls until you achieve a fairly stable hover . If you fly on grassy area without an extension w/balls ,the landing gear can get caught tipping the heli over . You want to stay out of the downwash , so try to walk the heli . It is more stable if you can manage to keep the heli min 3' above ground . I assume , you did balance the blades , and checked blade tracking .

I just followed the directions on the blades. When they are dialed in.. it dosnt wabble.. I have had it in a good hover but it seems to have a mind of its own.. I just need some more practice:)
