  • The training gear is off!!!!

    3 take offs and landings were great, the heli is soooo much lighter and more responsive, doesnt need continuous letf stick input to keep it straight now either....

    Let it get up quite high, few left and right piros, all going well, bit of FF all good apart from the dreaded orientation loss tried to sort it out but after probably oly about 45 secs (felt like an hour) i decided to let it drop (better to hit the groundfrom 10 feet rather than 50).

    All the damage i can see is the undercarriage has snapped on of the legs, I ran it up and no head wobble!! .... In my carbon fibre repair facility already being fixed......

    Dont think the trg gear will be going back on!!!!

              Sounds like you have it well bagged, congrats mate.

              Its always a little scary when you start flying without the T/Legs, but your progress at a much faster pace now your machine isn't carrying baggage.

              Happy flying Bro.

                      Well my lads reckon that the heli will have a Carbon Fibre repair sorted for Fri morning (curing time) and they are making me some Carbon stagilisers whils they are at it!!

                      Cant wait for the next flight, was surprised how twitchy it was whilst spooling up, much more responsive during take off!!
