  • With only 30 mins to spare last night the choice was between trying my little FBL100 outdoors, or start stripping my crashed 450. I opted for the former, and what a laugh! Doing stall turns for the first time and some proper nose ins it hit the deck 2 or 3 times without breaking anything. Even tried a loop for the first time but lost orientation (it was starting to get too dark TBH) and crashed to the ground breaking the landing skids and more cracks in the canopy. Parts I have, but <£2 to fix.

      • Just got back from the field fleew 4 packs through the Goblin. I was really nervous on the first flight as I havent flown it for 6 weeks. But by the last packs I was chucking it around, still cant do inverted backwards circles yet I chicken out half way round lol Might go back down there later if this light rain goes. Really started to enjoy it again I think a break did the world of good.

                Anything backwards still messes with my brain, I even get nervous just going backwards in a straight line.
