Did YOU fly today??

[Paula]

Took the training wheels off today and got my brand new 230s out for my first serious CP flying in idle up.
Feeling very happy even though i did break it a bit.
But that's what it's for right?

That is exactly what those little blade helis are for!

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Another 2 flights with my new E700..... Running at 1900 rpm headspeed for smooth 3D.

Love it!

Finally test hovered in the garden. All seems well just need to get to the field now!

7 flights yesterday afternoon/evening before it rained.

I also gave my "heli trolley" its first test run. A £35 trolley, £10 sheet of MDF, some pipe clips, screws, bolts, rivnuts and a bit of DIY gets all my batteries, fuel, TX, tools, 2x 700 heli's, and a 550 from my car to the strip in one go, and makes for a good table once I'm there. It needs a couple of stiffeners adding, a strap for each tail-fin, and either covering or painting and its complete;

Excellent.

A decent modeller can do anything.

Another great day!
24 flights now this week, so that's 2 hours flying time.
My poor Blade 230s now thinks it's an SR as the original canopy got a bit breaky.
Oh anyone know a better glue than superglue for frames and landing skids?

Try 30 min epoxy

Paula
Try 30 min epoxy

Hi paula as Dean says ,for canopy's & reinforcing bits I use glass fibre matting & epoxy resin . 5 or 30 minute epoxy doesn't matter , i generally use 5 min for speed

HobbyKing 4-6min Epoxy Glue (UK Warehouse)

Glass Fiber Cloth 450x1000mm 18g/m2 (Super Thin) (UK Warehouse)

also I usually tie the two skids together ( fishing line works well ) , this can help to stop them from getting forced apart & breaking in heavy landings & crashes

[Paula]

Already adding bits!
