No matter how much experience you have with a 4 channel, consider yourself a beginner when you advance to a 6 channel.

If you drop the left stick on a 6 channel, the blades will go to a negative pitch (-20% factory setting), and the heli will slam into the ground. I know Nine Eagles Solo Pro 100 pilots who have broken landing gears this way. In an imminent crash,
