Just tried again and broke my old record of 726 with a new record of 799.

EDIT - Beat the new record again. My record is now 874.

Not really! The analogy I have seen used is if learning to fly an airplane is like learning to ride a bicycle, then learning to fly a helicopter (and particularly hover) is like trying to ride a unicycle on top of a beach ball. One of the hardest things to master!

Besides this game, I mean!
