Maidened the T500 today. I'd had a few tries in the back garden but it just wasn't really happening so I went to my local football pitches and found a quiet corner to try again with a bit more space and a few less things to hit.
Spooled up for a minute or two the finally went for it. Heli lifted off fairly straight so mechanical set up must be reasonably OK. The only thing was the tail wagging abit so I turned down the gain on the gyro. It was still wagging abit by the end of the second pack but I have knocked another 5% off so hopefully OK next time out..
Really pleased to have got my maiden out of the way TBH and the heli is still in one piece there were a couple of heavy touch downs but nothing broken or unplugged so carried on.
I got about 14 mins hovering about and both Lipo were warm to the touch at the end and the first one has just taken 2600mAh to re-charge so not far off of my approx 80% figure of 2900 for my 3700 packs.
Sorry for rambling on
, hope the weathers good tomorrow... 
happy, moi,
oooohhh yessssss...
