    • Nice few flights with my 500EFL Pro. Egged on by Stonermark I flipped it for the first time (by me) before going for an inverted hover Fixed Stoner's 130x and flew my (shush) spitfire for a bit too! Top day really!

      • Finally flew some inverted backwards circuits with my 130x, maybe I will finally be able to break the mental block I've built up. Watch a clubmate do his first loop as well. Top day, roll on tomorrow.

          I saw it, real nice landing James.

          Had a great morning at the field. Flew my 130x around a bit, had a little accident when I borrowed a LiPo and it cut out after a couple of minutes resulting in broken skids. Got home charged LiPo's, new skids on and went out again. Great day and looking forward to tomorrow morning!

          • Flew a couple of batteries on my 450 at 9am today before my hands got too cold despite my gloves. I also flew 4 bats with it yesterday, but the one flight with my Hughes 500D ended when I lost tail control and crashed, fairly gently but that still means a new tail boom, tail shaft, main shaft, feathering shaft, main gear..........

            • I flew my 600nsp for the last time....

              just some gentle circuits, a couple of stall turns, a loop and a flip, for its new owner.....

              A little sadness....

              • Back at the field again today, amazed watching(don't know the guys name?)quad come back and land on it's own. Lovely looking quad.

                Only a couple of LiPo's through the 130x. Got my inverted hover down to grass cutting height. 400 might as well go in the bin! Level swash throughout the collective, checked many times and it still wants to wonder off?

                Need to get the 550 sorted, soon

                      Yep, it's a little nose heavy due to using bigger LiPo's but it wanted to roll over today. Been through set up, countless times.

                          Could be, pointless spending more monies on it. It can rot.

                          • Another great day of flying, took full advantage of the weather. Loads of interest from passers by which is nice.

                            Can anyone recommend a good image hosting site? I'm totally fed up with Photobucket and Flickr reducing the quality of my images when I upload them.
