Turn the sensitivity down or use the D-pad and buttons to control your copter. Try holding the controller in your lap and using two fingers on each of the analog joysticks for more precise inputs.

Don't even think about flying at higher skill levels until you've mastered the Rookie level; I don't care how good you think you are, you're just going to frustrate yourself until you get the hang of the sensitive controls.

There's no shame in flying with training struts and golf balls sticking off your copter. Everyone else might be laughing at you, but they'll laugh a lot harder if you keep smashing perfectly good R/C copters into the ground.
