e-E-Flite Blade CP CX 400-3D > Learn to fly outside?

hi, so i managed to do tail in hover and side in hover pretty good inside the house. I can spot hover tail in. So how the heck do I fly outside. Its insane how you guys do it. This is a Blade cp btw. It would hover sorta fine 1 feet off the ground. I can deal with GE with no prob. But when it gets up to 3-5 feet. The little gusts makes it a nightmare. The heli jumps high into air, i lower throttle/pitch to let it down. It drops like a rock. I learn to expect this drop now by pumping extra throttle when it starts its drop accelerating. The problem is, how the heck did u guys learn to FF outside or do circuits. This is insane.

oh dont assume im mad at this hobby, im loving it a lot, but heck its soooooo hard flying ouside. Would a trex fly outside much easier than my blade cp? Cause im planning to start building a trex tomolo, but a little put off cause i cant even hover perfect ouside. Especially if the trex uses lipos....

the sym blades to me fly just alittle better if you have flown before, flat bottom seem to be better for the guy who has never flown before

i also noticed some problems with my blade cp with the tail. Okay i can hover good and no problem there. The problem is when i look at videos of people flying and doing piros. i notice how much their heli stays in one place while doing a piro. When i attempt to move my tail, after 90 degrees or so, it drifts like crazy, so i either have to pull it back quickly or finish the 360, which results in a really unstable piro. i think this might also be a problem when im trying to do turns or somthing

Put the acro blades on and the training gear. The semetrical blades help alot in the wind because it keeps it from flying away everytime there is a gust. The training gear will help dampen the cyclic by lowering the heli center of gravity. This acts like a pendulem and slowes everthing down alittle. Hope this helps.
