A day at Spartan HQ

[mattie-lodge]

Just a quick post.

Today I had a full day at Spartan HQ. Angelos and Neil made me feel really welcome and showed me around the HQ where the Vortex FBL system was created and built. If you get the chance it's certainly worth a visit.

Luckily right next door is a huge field for flying. Wind was down and for most of the day the rain kept away. So a great oppertunity to put some flights on my Logo and Goblin 500 with the VX1 FBL system.

As an extra I lost my FPV virginity. Flying a foam wing FPV and Mode 2 was interesting.......interesting how you completely lose control over your head and neck functions whilst this is happening

Cant wait for next time Thanks guys....

I forgot to thank both Angelos and Neil for their help last weekend when they spent the day with us at MK. Angelos got my my 700 flying well as I had completely f'd it up trying to tune it round flybarred blades. Neil very nicely loaned me his 3G blades to try and it was chalk and cheese.

Thanks guys, it's not often youcan say you have the designer of the hardware and software tune your model, like having your very own pit crew

One last thing Neils flying, very very nice. I know he doesn't come on here nor compete but very smooth 3D, the sort that floats my boat.

Matt you look like you're crying

Can't beat customer service like that!, +1 on the FPV head movement's, No matter how hard you try not too you still end up in some weird head position by the end of the flight :P.

FPV Bounce is a must if your into FPV
