          Did YOU fly today??

          Had 3 flights on the trex 500 today. Have been practicing backward flight a lot with the mcpx and managed to convert it for the first time today to the 500! Feeling super confident now in all orientations and managed my first nose in take off and landing.
          Next step to master a loop and possibly a flip :-)

          Also had 4 flights on discovery fixed wind trainer, only my 4th ever fixed wing flight but managed to loop, roll and a dead stick landing!

          It's been a good day....bring on Sunday!

            Had a quick fly with the HK450GT and the new futaba GY401. It's amazingly stable now, a lot more like the sim than with the crappy gyros I've had before.

            Nearly has a whoopsie but magically saved it. Charging all my packs for tomorrow!

              What a glorious day for flying it was today! Bright sunshine, bit of a breeze. . .
              8 Flights on the Logo 500se. . . In which I managed to land my first auto!
              Following flights, auto after auto, my worst being a controlled landing just the other side of the flight line - about 20 feet away and my best being about 12 feet in front of me! WOOP WOOP!
              Thanks to Ian for egging me on, just a little bit. . . (I spent half of a flight practicing the approach over and over, at which point he called out 'AUTO!' from the pits. . . Next flight, and there it was!
              I'll find it hard not to spend most of my next few flying days just running autos. . . Now to find out how to set auto bailout or equivalent on the jive100/mini Vbar combination so that I don't have to wait for the slow start spoolup each time.
              WOOP! AUTO! WOOP!

                  I flew my 130-X today in a bit of wind. It was very strange as it was just like a 450. So I suppose a flybarless 450 is like a 500 flybarred.

                    Just got back from a great mornings flying. Finally had the balls to do my first backwards inverted circle and my confidence with the goblin is coming back.

                        Not actually been out yet today! The weather is epic but I was woken up at 8am as my parts from HK finally arrived. That meant I could start using my DX6i rather than the Esky stuff I had been using!

                        got it all installed and settings done then tested it and had issues with the tail drifting, the suddenly the tail housing moved. I didn't see it hit anything but it must of been a blade strike as I've been battling vibration issues all morning but just got them sorted after rebalancing the blades and glueing the boom supports back into their holders. No more tail drift either.

                        Just waiting for the last of my lipos to charge then I'm off!

                                Perfect flying weather today, cool, crisp day, zero wind.

                                Can't beat flying at low headspeed at sunset. Funnels sound immense at 1400rpm. 7min flights with 60% left in 4000mah packs
