Sorry to hear Adrian
I know we have not seen you in a bit
I knew you had sold up so wasn't worried as moving takes alot of time.

Plan a weekend up at 3d champs and take your mind of it
hope to see you

4 flights today on the HK450Pro. 2 this morn and 2 this avo down at the field with p4ddy and his Logo500. Bit windy but still good fun. Nice inverted circuit flying p4ddy!

If not before, see you at Calshot.

Gav how was the model?
any problems with the belt?
I ask because me and belts don't mix

[p4ddy]

His HK flew well apart from a tad high gain. He even done some backwards inverted in a straight line away from himself but it's a start I can't see any issues with the belt as the drive & pully are both metal so they shouldn't slip. I didn't look at the spinny roller guide thingy?? I know it's wise to remove them to prevent the belt slipping to one side.

Yea had a nice flight with Gav in the wind, i don't get how the wind picked up considerably everytime i set my heli down ready The wind was really noticable in backwards inverted & when back flipping nose in.

running great - Flying 2 packs in the wind today and really is nice 450 to fly.

So far I've only replaced the 90 degree rudderlink and ball to remove a small amount of slop causing some wag.

I flipped fairly low the other week and went for some inverted hover practice and for the first time ever - I fogot idle up (first time for everything):

Head speed dropping and heli getting near the grass inverted. flicked idle up and it piroetted from the sudden torque rush and luckily managed to save it. Now that was a real test on the HK one way auto bearing, belt pulleys and main gear. All intact and happy to report it's still going strong.

HK450 PRO GT - Bargain Heli!

No flying today. Had some minor surgery this morning then flew to Cologne this afternoon, from where I type this.

What a coincidence I had surgery last night and cant walk now, gutted cos I thought I would be able to fly this weekend!

[Planehazza]

I fly almost every day if that includes phoenix

[p4ddy]

No i didn't. I've been moving my mums stuff into her new flat. That'll be the 3rd time we've moved in the last 10 months. My nan 1st, then us, now my mum.

[p4ddy]

Yes, had 3 great flights. My 4 point tic tocs are getting better although they tend to creep high & far away. My piro flip is consistant & i just need to make it continous

[Milamber]

I managed to fly a new Rex 250, but only in the back garden and now it is absolutely "persisting" down and blowing hard too.

[p4ddy]

Hey it's a 250, fly it around the living room & hover it in the way of emerdale lol

[Milamber]

After 45 years of being wed to my other half, I do know exactly how far I can push things and, apart from its first indoor hover, I reckon I can leave it for today - she's away for half a day tomorrow, soooooooooo..........

ps the pouffe has the evidence of it not quite being perfect first time

[kenny.c]

We made the most out of the 1 day weather window......been at the field and just got back after some night flying.....



Starting to get used to this night flying lark.......im not quite SH%^TING myself so much now....
