Little progress with the helicopter

I'm not progressing very fast with the helicopter. I flew it every day last week except Sunday, and I still don't have any kind of a steady hover going. However, on the bright side, I haven't badly broken it yet (cracked the landing gear, but that was an easy fix with epoxy resin). The thing is actually hard to fly, it's not just a matter of confusion about control inputs. One needs to make very small, very precise control movements, but very quickly. I expect I'll get it in the end. Practice makes perfect, as they (inaccurately) say.
