Does any have any good advice on how to fly RC multicopters? 

I was recently asked to write a holiday gift guide on aerial drones. You can find it here if you are interested.

I really didn't know much about the topic. I did a lot of research for the article, and learned a lot. However, I've still got next to zero experience flying RCs and a lot more to learn.

I'm ordering a small quadcopter for my son for Christmas. I think he'll let me use it a little. ;~ }

I'm also contemplating one of the DIY builds I outlined in the article above. Before I crash too many times, I am looking for some advice from anyone who has trod this path before me. 

Thanks!
