| Except for initial power up, I ALWAYS hit the THROTTLE KILL switch whenever approaching or working near the heli for the same reason.

| It's normal for the heli to hover right skid low due to the side force of the tail rotor.
Try not to hover so close that you risk hitting yourself before you can correct for it. |

| Yes to all. The mainshaft is the same diameter and as I have 450 heads on all 3 Kings I've had to do the ball swap to fit them. This one with the ESKY CNC swash.

Great Job!  The hover is the hardest part of learning to fly these or real ones, so you've gone a long way.
Only thing I can add is that it hovers a bit easier higher up since you get away from ... |
