Moving forward is a matter of ever so slightly turning left, and then using the momentum of it ALMOST starting to spin like crazy and turning right a bit. It'll have a sudden "burst" of moving forwards ... I don't think you EVER move forwards quickly in a controlled way .. but try this, hold it in your hand - put it FULL throttle and make the rotor face towards an empty space (so not facing upwards, towards a FAR wall) then LET IT GO !

After reading this post I had to go and get a little Havoc for myself. Talk about the power of suggestion. I tried it out last night and found the hovering part easy, but it's a pain trying to make it fly forward in any controlled way (which is kind of the point - what's the fun in hovering except to scare the dogs?). Now that I can hover well, I'll try adding some weight to the nose which should get it flying forward a little more. I'll let you know how it goes. Alright, you got me.
