  • Flying with a hangover!!... newbie again!!

    O.K i had a little to drink last night..... well plenty, got carried away and after a couple of bottles of Australia's finest plonk i toddled off to bed looking forward to practicing my inverted hovering and tick tocks.

    Didnt feel too bad this morning on the way to the field but i was a little vacant!!

    I spooled up the 600sp and lifted into a hover.... after that my mind just couldn't tell my thumbs what to do!!!!! in fact i struggled to keep the bird level tail in!.... felt like my first time again!!

    Luckily i needed to finish running in the Hyper so a little hovering was in order but it was a struggle and the 500 stayed very much on the deck!!!

                        I promise i won't Tim!!! i have learnt my lesson after wasting a perfectly good days flying oppertunity... good weather, company and first class kit!!!

                        By the way... its running peeeeerfectly now mate. The Engine/glow problem was just down to an unusually tight fresh Hyper and my not very poky starter. Now she's run in she's spot on and after seeing Adie Smith giving it the final once over today (after some more dodgy hung over hover break in from me) it is spot on in every respect!... Very happy

                          That super pro is spot on now mate, the engine was tight at first but seems to have run in fine now and seems to have lots of power, can't beat a nsp to put a smile on your face
