    Velocity 50 Maiden...finally

    Well I finally did it. After what seems like a an age building and then not being able to get to the field because of work commitments I finally got the chance to take the Velocity 50 out for a spin.

    After a false start which thankfully happened on the ground (a ball link on the tail linkage sheared and the heli did a 180) I managed to hover nearly a tank without breaking anything. I really was shaking afterwards. It was fairly daunting compared to my 450 Sport, but seemed much more stable in the air.

    I have to say a huge thanks to everybody at the club for helping me today. Extra special thanks goes to Alec for helping me get the sheared ball link out otherwise that would have been it for the day.

    Next step...forward flight...gulp !!
    cheers,

    Mick

    Nice one. They are cracking heli's and if I ever decide to get a new airframe I'm probably going to go for a velocity 50. They fly so straight and look good as well

      They fly brilliantly its just a shame they're made from such poor quality materials.
      Happens to mine all the time mate, apparently it happens to me cause I'm a tit and dont know what I'm doing, I cant wait for the Outrage reps to deliver their diagnosis on your experience.
