  • Flight before work...

    Well I left for work as usual and noticed that the air was still...... Should I stop and have a flight before work, risking being late??? YES!! At 0730 the flight commenced

    I still have the training gear on but was up at around 20 m so decided to try the idle up switch.... think I have to play with the set up a bit..... head speed increased but angle decreased, it started to drop, added a bit more left stick and up and away.... landed in idle up, switched it off then the heli started to take off again..... More neg pitch reqd after landing.... I thought what the hell and took off again, lots of high hovering followed by left and right piro's a bit of fwd flight (50m of so) followed by some backwards flight (not confident ennough to turn nose in) and that was about it 8 or so mins of great fun!!!

        I got a feeling that as the evenings draw in, flying before work is the only way i'm going to be able to practice. Weather permitting of course but i'm still holding out for an Indian summer !
