  • Preddie's gone

    To a new home I ahd half a mind to cancel and keep him but it;s been a real love/hate relationship.

    Best wishes to his new owners. I insisted ona warts and all go through him and a test flight so they could make a serious decision and abide by it.

    I gotta say they were nice guys and had driven all the way from the West Country.. usually fly on the moors..but they were a bit gobsmacked at the breeze up on the hill today..well into the 30's

    I found myself shaking when I took off.. it;s the effect preddie soemtimes has on me and why he had to go...but he behaved flawlessly for a couple fo circuits. I did offer them a flight but they figured the weather wasnt p for it on a differtn heli feel. I did also offer to try and calm myself down and pull some loops if they really wanted but admit I wnst lookign forwards to full disc vertical when t was gusting like that.

    I had had my 12S 600e out early this morning when things were somewhat better and thrown that about but much easier to catch that heli if you dumbthumb.

    I suprised myself when we went thruogh preddies spares boxes as to quite how much stuff I had to go with him.. 3 crappy canopies, 2 new in packet TT's frame parts, links etc etc..

    .. so end of an era and not quite sure how I feel..

    Still, if i ever feel short of aggro I can always get a vibebug..

    Well, my Predator just got ever so slightly more lonely



    Anyway, the bottom line is if it wasn't getting all the love and attention it needed then maybe it will now and that's a good thing.

            It's a nice enough heli once you junk the worst of the century bits off it.. but it was always headstrong, wilful and suffering from PMT with a desire to trash Scott Gey 710's at £130 a set
