Default Tips for a rookie collective pitch pilot?

So I'll make this short. Wanted to get into rc flight (I've done land rc for a long time) and picked up a coaxial heli, 4 channel. After that, I got a Gamma 370 plane. The coax got crashed by a friend and killed it. That's another story.

Anyways, I love flying the plane and wanted another heli, but I didn't want another coax. So the logical next step would've been a single blade fixed pitch. Well, I skipped that. And I know I shouldn't have, but I was unsure as to whether I'd be able to afford a new one anytime in the near future if I got bored with the fixed pitch. So I got a Blade mCP x. I've flown it 3 times, the first 2 of which resulted in breaking stuff. Third flight was better. I took my time, put it on low rates, and moved the sticks very gently. Had a good few minutes of just hovering around.

My question to you is, do you have any good tips for a CP newbie? Any help is greatly appreciated.

(Side note: I have a few large open fields near my house to practice. So far though I've only flown it in my confined driveway.)

Soaring ever higher, the wind makes me free.
