Great Weekend

[sidy2001]

Two weeks ago i thought iwould never get the hang of hovering but this weekend everything to come together and end went solo on a take off and landing without ade on the buddybox. Cannot thank ade enough. Cheers mate

Well done mate.

I did a left hand turn at height and speed over my left shoulder, and kept it all looking like I meant it today with my Sceadu.

I'm chuffed as well!

Well done Sidy!
It's a great feeling knowing you have done an entire flight all on your own. I had a couple of lessons with Ade and he is a great teacher. It wasn't long after those lessons that I got a Raptor and am hovering around with not a buddy box in sight. I still have to have a A test heli person next to me (just in case - club rules) so solo proper is still to come.
Regards,

*I* knew you could do it, it was just a matter of stringing a few lessons together.

Leebert, You picked it up very quickly clubman3d next year!

I feel comfortable hovering, but at our main site, you MUST be buddied up to fly without an A test, at other sites as Leebert, you need an A test pass to be with you when you fly
Hers hoping that I can sort this out later this year

Happy Flying Everyone

[Dedcalm]

Thankfully at my sites you can just fly

One day I will do the A in both plank and heli...

Guys,

Good news all round then great flying.

Great flying on staurday, Sunday not so well Raptor tail is way
out hopefully will sort it tuesday as I am off all day.

Well done Siddy!

It is as others have already said, a fantastic feeling to just be able to hover. I found when I learnt that it just clicked and I could do it. I then wondered why the hell I found it so difficult in the first place

Cheers,
Pete.

Thanks Ade
Not sure about Clubman 3D next year but I have booked my A test for this coming weekend.

I wonder if the weather will hold out...

[Disc]

Leebert: bad news the weather will hold out although
temps may drop hopefully a few degrees.

Good luck on the A test.

[Leebert]

Cheers Disc
I hope the weather behaves!

Congratulations Sidy, keep up the good work and good luck with your A!!

FYI...There is a new A schedule that has just been released, the 2003 book states that you have to do a hovering L with the sideways point in whatever direction you want. You now have to do an inverted 'T' shape (in upright hover ) and so a hover to the left and right will be required.

There is also talk of the B test changing, but I won't give details till the talk is factual...

Cheers for that Trev

I have downloaded the doc - Time for some light reading...

[trvo]

nps, you may find that the examiner is not aware of the new schedule, I was only informed on Sunday...if so, do the old schedule, it's easier
