  • luck with the weather

    Flew this evening after work. Drove toward a massive shower that had just cleared the field when I got there (hail on the ground just melting). Showers all round and me in the sunshine and less than 5 mph of wind, put 6 tanks through the 600n pro.
    Fantastic peak district views in spectacular weather on the way home.

                  what made you stop at half a tank? Lack of light perhaps?

                          I started with the raptor, and after half a tank it stopped with the header tank empty.
                          Clunk fallen off in the main tank..ho hum. When someone buys it it'll have fresh tubing in the main tank now!

                          I had to resort to the spare heli...

                          The third and 4th tank are my best - takes two flights to get in the groove, then on the 5th I start to get sloppy.

                          I forgot, I put a pack through the 450 before I started on the nitro!

                            Myself and Mark Lane went for a flight after work yesterday also, had a pack through the 450 plus 3 tanks on the nitro, plus mark had a few tanks also, all went well and back with everything intact, that is a bonus after binning the 500 on sunday, lovely evening and hopefully many more summer eves flying to come

                              Did 3 packs through the T Rex 450 se last night - absolutely zero wind, no clouds brilliant light conditions. No issues and went home with a big grin.
                              Was flying in the wide open spaces of our local sport hall !
