  • today was my 1st small flight

    hi today was my 1st small flight, as a beginer i was waiting for better weather as in the past i killed two servos without even getting of the ground. well today i did some small hops with no damage (so far) also i learned to put new gears in servos lol. seriously im very happy it was at last airbourne even if only briefly. basicly im trying to learn how to hover.

        Well I don't know what the weather is like where you are, but its pretty dam windy here.
        Learning to fly helis and wind don't mix very well So unless you've got a nice large indoor space to use, I would hang on and wait for a nice calm day for your next flight tbh.

        Just a suggestion

          Well done for those first steps. What are you flying?
          If you can get the heli up out of its "ground effect", it will be easier to control than closer to the ground. Higher than the rotor diameter should be fine.

            nice one- wind can make things a little too stimulating at the start- well worth waiing for calmer conditions- cheaper too

                Sounds like you are doing well!

                Have you got a sim, as that will really help you in the early stages without the worry of crashing

                  Nice one, well done!! What are u flying? - hopefully my time will be very .. very soon! lol
                  If you can keep your head, when all others around are losing theirs - you have probably not understood the seriousness of the situation!!

                    hi guys

                    its a twister storm, your right about the wind it was all going quite well then a gust caught it i lost control and it crashed going to have to change the blades but cant find a tool that fits yet. hopefully thats the only damage. i was getting there it was hovering lol

                    today taught me something i think with practice i will be able to do this

                      Being a beginner myself i find the worst bit about the wind is when your hovering about six foot up and a breeze comes along and lifts it another couple of feet in the air and you think oh sh*t i didnt want to go that high.
