  • I had an epic day!

    I had an epic day! Just had to share. As some may know I have a serious mental block of flying circles, I have built up a wall over time preferring what I know, big air.

    I have been pushing my comfort zone bit by bit(that little scary blind panic feeling) and today the wall came tumbling down. I spent all day pulling circles left and right and reversing my figure eights. I felt so comfy with it I started backwards circles(I build up to 4, then it goes pete tong).

    While charging up raptor 50, I flew my mcpx, you guessed it, more circles, loving it. I feel that a whole new ball park has been opened up.

    Lesson learned: keep pushing the boundaries bit by bit and don't just stick with what you know.
    Raptor 50 v2, trex 600n fbl, trex 550 v2 3gx, trex 450 3gx v2, mini-titan v1, mcpx v1, WoT4 foamE, Gootch 450, mcpx bl.

      Hi all!, that's great mate, good buzz!
      I too had a bit of a day!
      Been messing round with a b120 for a month or so and got a B450, did a few scary hovers and taking it high and far, but just hovering and not in IU mode either....
      Well today I saw first hand what everyone say's about headspeed and wind, I switched over to stunt mode IU, and the heli welded itself I to the atmosphere headspeed I had set to 80% and it became so controllable!
      I was doing pitch pumps and really feeling the urge for a backflip or two, but held off on that till next time!
      What a rush! I love landing in IU mode too! , so stable!
      All I can say is that practicing on phoenix is really paying off!
      Love the purr of the blades!
      This hobby is ace!!!!
