Too cold to fly

[Mikep]

With the weather like it is today I have just dug out my sim for a quick spin and its reminded me what a great little sim it is - The CML RC Helimaster, basic but great for practicing a few moves.

I used to have reflex but my pc wasnt up to the job so got this helimaster for the princley sum of £25 and I have to say I would heartily reccomend it for anyone who has yet to get a sim.

Was hissing down here earlier, even some hail. It's now bright sun but winds about 40+mph...

Never heard of that one. If it's any good (for beginners) it would be a steal at £20 or so including the dummy tx!

Edit: their free demo version seems incredibly slow and jerky :-(

It wasnt that bad here, so I took the T-rex 500 out for a couple of flights, the batteries did display lower power (especially the 2200) but thats to be expected.

Weather looked too iffy today for a proper lesson so fitted extractor fan in kitchen and sorted some lights!! Flew one battery in the break between showers... Not too cold here...

Just one tank full today with the 600nsp.

Really biting cold so decided that sitting by the warm fire was a better bet.

Lets just say I was on my own, Think the other lads had a look out the door and decided not to bother at all..

I thought it odd, too. The machine runs Phoenix fine, so is way in excess of the given requirements. Shame because it feels a lot better than FMS.

Too breezy to risk it here, was bitter cold but that wouldn't have stopped me, just the rain and wind that put a hold on it

Hear in the Pacific Northwest it's a balmy 18*F outside. So I tested in my basement, for final adjustments. the 450xl is starting to fly nice. I start to get thumb dumb and set her down. Oh well, I needed to charge the battery anyway. Hope it warms up tomorrow. Till then I'll fly the Sim...Practice Practice Practice...By the way..when do you suggest I take of the training gear??
