Flying today.

[Tim Procter]

another great day for you guys it seems...
wish you were closer to me coz you all seem a great bunch of blokes.

Alan.

You wouldnt believe we are all (supposedly) grown men but when we get together we are just like bloody animals.

Swearing/**** taking having a great laugh all day long but rest assured safety and ground rules do come first.

As we all know these are not toys but weapons in the wrong hands so no-one gets away with stupidity when flying.

In general we are all raising the bar every week just getting the better of each other and having a laugh along the way.


Fun... You bet its fun.

i had a bugger of a day, anything that could go wrong did

brand new (2 flights) throttle servo burned out, governor wouldn't work with only servo i had to replace it with at the time (3001) , stripped the threads on canopy mounting posts (fixed that by forcing in some BIG screws , so eventually i got the canopy back on and heli had been on the bench so long i forgot to put the fuel clip on, went to start heli the engine was flooded, canopy back off glow plug out blow fuel over my trousers so it looks like i pi**ed myself with pink pee, then to top it off i put a hole in my fuel tank with a screwdriver (had a spare in my box thankfully)
eventually i got heli in the air and the wind picked up to a small cyclone
ach well at least i never crashed

now awaiting a mail from hitec to see if they will fix or replace the servo without proof of purchase date as i dunno what i did with the receipt (even tho it has a big date of manufacture sticker of 07.08 so the bloody thing was only made 8 months ago and their guarantee is for 2 years)
I dont' fancy my chances to be honest.

Alan we all have our bad days. keep your chin up mate. that is the beauty of having some good people around you to keep you looking on the bright side when things are going wrong.

i am sure you will have it all sorted out and back in the Air very soon

sounds like you have the green shoots of a great club Tim.

thanks dougie ... it is air worthy at the moment but with a crappy throttle servo and no governor its kinda limiting.

rest assured tho it will have a nice new servo in there before next weekend regardless of what hitec say

Looks like another nice day at the farm Tim .. I got out yesterday to the field as well .. Bloody lovely is was all day .. Only flew half a tank through one of my heli's as my hand was really playing up ... Got some flights in with a few planes throughout the day which is better stuffing one of those than one of my heli's .. I go more for the crack than the flying though

I guess you will be looking for 700 No. 2 soon Martin now you've realised that Nitro really is the way to go

No, I think one gas guzzling 90 size machine is enough for me
Nitro is good but not as simple as electric, I miss plug and fly flying

Surrounded by idiots where I am

That's what you get for sitting in a room full of mirrors

Tim
Like many others have stated if it wasn't so far away I would love to join you and the guys up on the farm for a days flying and **** taking
Who knows, maybe one day I will get another job site up that way and will throw the heli in the van and pop around for a flight.

Martin.

You would be more than welcome.

Already had a few guests visit us now and its a pleasure meeting new faces from other clubs etc.

You always learn something new from other pilots choose who you are.

If you are ever up this way do get in touch, Would be good to see you.



PS:
You won't be bringing Phil will you..

I flew tonight been sunny all day, tonight when i decided to go it was cloudy and very dim light on the second flight hard to which way it was going on many occasions, thats when i decided to land and save it for another day.

didnt get out the weekend as i was working so i was really looking forward to going, first flight was brilliant with the 450, second is when i kept loosing it the low light against the trees. tail started playing up a bit towards the end 401 was flashing when i landed it, which needs invistigating before its next flight
