She Fly's :o)

[cambs flyer]

Tonight I had Mike over who helped set up my Trex 500, and what a beaut' she is too, the deeper hum of the motor, the wonderful sound of the rotas as they gain speed to lift off, she sounds just like the real thing, the longer and wider blades not only sound great but are so graceful in flight too.

Then it was my turn at the wheel, heart was thumping away with excitement and a little fear if truth told, then she reached lift off, what a wonderfully balanced power house she is, she really holds her own and I was amazed how soon the fear left and excitement took over, she's a little intimidating at first, but she flew so gracefully that after a few minutes the stability gave extra confidence, and was a pure joy to control.

I can't wait until tomorrow to do some simple tail in just to gain a proper feel to her.

Many thanks to Mike who took me through the stages of the set up to her maiden flight, cheers bud'.

Yay.

Thank you Ron.

The 500's are totally different to the 450's that's what struck me the moment she was in the air, as I thought I'd be doing short hovers to gain a feel of her, but it's totally correct, if you can fly a 450 you can a 500, only a little respect needs to be given on the throttle, however I have a nice T/curve to start with, then gradually take it up a level when I get fully used to her.

A great finish to the day for sure.

Thank you Brin, I've been very fortunate in having help and support from some very kind people, or I'd have never made it.

Will do Lee and thank you too mate, the wait was well worth it, but having never flown a larger machine then the 450 class the experience was fantastic.

I'll be calling Mike at Aurorra and ordering my first Revolectrix 6s 3300mah, but I can't wait until the morning when I have my first real fly of her.
