After flying every other weekend (well mostly every other weekend) for the past 18 months I'm now flying figure of 8's, and much more confident. The problem with only flying every other weekend is that for the first few batts you're brushing the dust off your flying and getting back to where you were last time you flew and by that time it's time to go home so progress is slow. Still don't have a sim so need to invest in a PC or laptop that will run one so I can get more stick time ...
Well I managed to hover my Gaui 255 (bought off my mate Nick) for 2 packs on Sun 14th (was wobbly hovering and quite alot of movement ) and I can honnestly say I think I'm hooked... The only damage I did was to put it down rather more heavily than I'd have liked and managed to break the front right skid arm....now I know what people mean when they say the landing gear is pants... Also managed a quick fly yesterday lunch at work but decided to try it over soft ...
