Tried my first Piro flip today!!

[Jamin_00]

Never done them before at the field but have done them on the sim and I know what you need to do but have never managed to get them on the sim so gave up lol. Well today, having the HC3-SX on the AleeS I thought lets just try as I know if it goes tits up and I cant save it then the unit will lol.

Well suffice to say I can now do half piro flips quite comfortably but finishing it is another story. I did manage to complete 2 but that was it

Surprisingly I did not use the rescue feature that much. Probably half a dozen times out of 2 flights solidly trying them so thats quite good I think

I have dialled the unit in pretty much, got a bit of a tail bounce back and a little bounce on the elevator but will have them sorted by next week hopefully but so far Im liking the unit and the rescue feature is awesome

Soooo, slightly off topic, what's the verdict now on the Alees, is it a keeper?

Well done Sir I'm just getting piro-flip reversals sorted at the minute. Once you find a comfortable way of doing it, changing direction feels very wrong! Train the brain

[Jamin_00]

Yea, the AleeS is a great heli. The tail lets it down but once you get it set its golden just like any other but for some reason it needs 115mm tail blades (if not running crazy headspeeds which I do not) and a high gain. I run it at around 1950 cos I got a good strong motor and that is plenty.

Its just an awesome heli to look at, one of the best imo


Yea Dani, I bet lol. I never thought about trying them before nor had the urge but since I got this its like 'well lets try something completely new and different' and this was it

Tried my first Piro flip today!!

I've been doing these for a while but I wish I could centre them, and I can't do those ones that look really nice with 2 piros per flip

If any they will be the ones I would like to be doing also as they look the best lol.

This has gave me a renewed interest, perhaps I need to get a new sim cable so I can practice there too

[trillian]

I have started working on half-piros and although it's fairly easy to just get the basic jist it's gonna take me a while to be fluid and confident enough to incorporate into other moves at will.

well done mate, that unit seams to have defo given you some confidence, great to hear.

A mate in the club has just sourced me a laptop as I've been out of action on the sim for 6 months now hopefully my flights will start to progress now I can practice

Well done on the piro flips Ben. Gives you a brilliant buzz and sense of improvement when you nail something huh?? For some strange reason, I thought you were a sponsored 3d'er, not sure where I got that notion and its not the Kontronic logo on your sig, I must be older than I thought!!

Not been on the sim since v4 came out I think, the one with the fpv? Nor since I gone Futaba as I not got a cable for it lol

Not all sponsored pilots are 3D gods

Well done dude!

I need way more practice before I comprehend trying them!

[Jamin_00]

TBH from what I remember trying them on the sim its easier at the field.

[KevDavies]

My first piro flips ended in a very bent Knight 3d! LOL It takes some balls to try em, Im kinda getting them sorted again now, but for some reason I cant get my timing right, yet I can do it on Phoenix quite easy???

Keep it up Ben!! You'll be doing em round yer tree at Air next year in a strange kinda rain dance! LOL
