How good is that!

Well.
I've trawled many forums, followed all sound advice from V6 easy copter, 2.4ghz tx plus Phoenix flight sim, then onto Twister 3D storm. Joined a club, found a great model shop (Avicraft, Bromley) worth the plug......

Hovered in the garden twice & went to new club today.
A bit windy - my eyes were streaming facing into the wind....
But did three batteries learning hovering, met a great bunch of helpful folks & didn't feel intimidated.

When does that tight clenching feeling go? I didn't realise my buttocks/stomach was capable of being so tight!!!! Stop leaning right - I'm not really flying it!!!!!!

Learning to hover is one thing. Anticpating & dealing with wind (pun intended) is quite antother.

Well & truely hooked.

Cool ... glad ya doing ok ... dont think that feeling ever goes when its windy lol ... Me i just have fun and forget bout the rest ... Was after my first major killing of a nitro heli that i progressed alot faster heheh

nice one,
The butt and stomach clenching could be signs/symptoms of something more sinister (curry for dinner?) although teeth gritting and uncontrollable shaking may well be associated to the experience!!

I have found this hobbie is very addictive also

Glad you did the right thing joining a club and seeking help.

As for your comments above wait until you tip it inverted for the first time..

You will think your arse is welded together..

Thanks for all the positive comments.
If I'm flying inverted just at the moment, really bad things are about to happen........

This is also a life changing experience for me, as I'm battling against my naturally impulsive, buy it now, screw patience, it needs to happen NOW, mentality.
My wife thinks that can only be a good thing.
Once bought a new car while waiting at a set of pedestrian crossing lights. Bad man...........

Trex 600 nitro in my sights with a twitchy trigger finger......

Nice one, keep going. I am just getting the hang of short hovers......know what you mean about the buttocks/stomach lol.
