Belt CP First Flips! (With Videos)

[callum]

Hey All,

Well, after showing you my first ever flight/Hover and having 7 Flights i had a real urge to take it to the next level and whiz it up in the air and do some flips!

The First Video Went Well the Second One went even better as you can see at 30 seconds in i hoverd it inverted for a couple of seconds, then i lost my oritentation and it came down, but i recoverd it!

Edit: the Wind was quite strong, but that didnt stop me!

Quality is better then the last vidoes

Oh yeah, my face at the end of video speaks words! lol though i look well scary, not what i usually look like! haha


Tell Me what you Think!

Oh Yeah, Its a sight to see flips being done with training gear on aint it? hahaha

[Made2Fade]

Wow dude cant beleive your attempting flips with the training gear on rotflmao
Your lucky its still in one piece.

Cheers
Lee

fair play buddy!!!!!!!!!! loose the training legs,, i will send you that gyro tomorrow,

[Mike W]

Time to lose the training gear me thinks ... Little question for you Callum , Can u fly circuits ???? Personally I would go the long way round learning helis or you will get stuck in a rut with just banging the sticks .. Nothing up with what your doing as its down to each person how they wanna progress .. Just my opinion nothing more so dont take offence from it

[callum]

Non Taken, and Thanks Heliward0

Yeah, I will loose the training gear! at the mo i cannot fly circuits, but i dont know i havent really tried, so i imagine i should be able to

[Mike W]

I seen a few people that have gone from hovering to do flips and they cant fly a nice smooth circuit ort do nose in hovering ... Heck at the end of the day its your time and your money to do as you will ... I would like to see people progresss in this hobby the right way thats all .. Guess cos i a little older i tend to do stuff the long way round ... hovering tail in .. then both sides ... then nose in ... then circuits .. then loops ... then rolls .. then inverted hovering .. all orientations .. then inverted circuits .... then backards circuits .. then 3D if you wish ....

[callum]

Thanks for the advice

Tommrow ile do some circuits and get them perfected!

[brin]

well done callum, i am no were near that stage yet still learning orintations but i had my training gear off after only 1/2 doz bats and found it much easier to control so get them off asap.

[matt27]

brin you say its easier to control
is this for beginners to?

Matt

[callum]

Yup gonna take em off

[brin]

brin you say its easier to control
is this for beginners to?

Matt

sure is as soon as you get over the hops and jumps and can get a steady hover the tricky bit is poping it off the ground ,i was very nervious at first but it didn't take long to realise how much better its flies without them

[bigbas]

hi callum i dont belong to any club but do fly with two other like minded heli freaks i must say when i started this hobby more years than i care to remember and also money than the wife would like to know . i had some one with more experiance come up to meand said some words that have served me well he told me one day a helicopter will come nose in or side ways at you if you can not control in all attiudes then you will get hurt or worse you will injure youre friends we all aspire to the top3 d pilots they all started somestage futher down the learning curve above all remember safety is every thing you certainley doing very well at flying but please just take it a little slower on the learning and try to maintain presision youre eyesight is for life not just xmas keep the shiney side up and dirty side down good luck Barry S.

[Mojogoes]

I totally with what every one has said / commented on about the learning curve and using a more slower approach is the best way to go.....i dare say most would find it a bind more than difficult to fly about with the training gear on...lol.

Yeah i think we would rather see you fly it around tail-in with no training gear on than watching you having to save flips and rolls which the training gear will only make worse through more weight and wrongly places cofg.

[callum]

Yeah looking back on the videos i kinda thing maybe i shouldnt have done that,

So tommrow gonna practice some circuits and work on my landings!

[jboweruk]

I think you may get on okay, probly the flips/rolls will help with ur confidence, I certainly haven't had the b@lls to try them yet. I tried a wee bit of FF on my last flight but was fighting a gusty wind like that all the time. I don't honestly know how you managed it as yours is the same size heli.
