It Flies!

[kungpo]

Firstly many thanks to the guys at Skyline, especially Bob. He was very patient and did a great job completing the setup.

And, due to my ramblings on here, even test flew it around the side of the shop (although he doesn't normally do it!).

So, well done everyone, and a Very Happy Eric indeed. Now off to the club soon and get learning.

Cheers,

Eric

Yup.. Bob is a very decent chap

Really nice feeling watching your first model take off and leave the ground..even if it isn't yourself at the controls!

Now get the stick time in, and you will be off into the skies soon..

Steady as she goes I think. I'd like to be very precise and controlled before I try to do anything too clever.

Certainly more time on the CX3 and Phoenix is in order

Glad the test flight went to plan!

Oh, and I treated the heli to a nice canopy (rather than the plastic one the kit came with). She looks super cool now!

MMMmmm. Thats not really the Slough way!

I was thinking more along the lines of saving the chaos piros until the second tank!

Seriously though, if you do a search on YouTube for "Radd's Hover Training" he's done some good tutorials on the first steps.

But if you do come down to the club you'll get plenty of help.

Here's a couple of pics; one of me looking rather happy, and one of the bird in the air!

I think I'm up for more "proper" training to be honest. I will also need to get over the fear factor and I didn't spend all this money to just look at it!

Hopefully get to the club this weekend (and with some guidance) get started on the path to flying!

Oh dear...that's going to make it too easy to spend more money!
