noob first outdoor flight debrief w/ all the greatest hits?

I've been studying the stickies and searching but I'm just not sure if I'm experiencing some of the the known issues described there... or, if I'm just in denial:face

Straight off, I've got the shakes. A blast of positive pitch will dial it out but hovering, FF there's a pretty high frequency, high amp vibe that just can't be right. Is this likely just due to the linkage slop issues?

Also, it seems like there's bad "Tail Authority?" Flying circuits in ZERO wind this AM :thumbup: and the tail/yaw would just kick out +-90 degrees out of nowhere. Is this just the "bad tail authority?"

Also, I'm binding my DX7s per the V2 addendum but the TH switch only pitches the blades under no throttle or cuts it completely under throttle. It seems like the 3-in-1 is in non-computer mode (throttle and pitch on the left stick). Shouldn't the TH switch spool up the blades on a CP with my left stick in the middle of the range and then I'm just controlling pitch with it?

An otheriwse successful flight with some really thrilling banked circuits ended with a somewhat controlled-looking, auto rotate-ish landing as much to my shock I must've flown out of range at maybe 80 yards away. This resulted in a nice, skids-down landing between the corn stubble with only a cracked canopy to show for it. I knew I had a high chance at breaking it but man do these things shatter like glass in the cold! I thought I'd have some better range with this $$$ TX but maybe I can expect better on a RX with a better antenna...

Thanks for reading if you made it this far. It's been a real whirlwind getting up to speed going from CX2, MCX, UMXF4U Corsair, MSRX, DX7s, MCPXV2 in a month and I certainly couldn't have done it with my fellow Freaks this super place to hang out... oh, and a very understanding wife. :noteworthy
