I was gonna go 1st thing this morning on the way home from work but fancied going to bed for a bit more enticing. It's now nice and sunny but blowing a gale so no flying for me today

Ouch!!!!

Why is it you can have a real good crash out in the field smash the heli into the ground and get away with "maybe" blades and a feathering spindle.

You gently tip it over hovering in your garden above the ground 2 feet and smash the thing to bits..

Well i'm back!..... had half a tank easy hovering but it was far too windy for my experience, thing was bouncing up and down like a yo yo!!

Packed up fastish and got out of dodge!!

Guess self discipline is all part of the game... pleased i gave up before it ended in tears. Happy to look at the 600 in my living room and dream of a nice (still) sunny day to continue my practice!!

Had a run with the 500 out the front of my hotel today but was blowing hard and gave up after a couple of mins. Gained a small gathering mind
