Re: Did YOU fly today??

Only got 1 flight in today but it was a big milestone for me the misses came and watched for the first time since my incident over a year ago. She was a bit scared bless her but it meant a lot to me!



She even offered to carry the Logo back

Did 6 packs through my new 130x at lunch. Started with gentle fig of 8's to get used to it and then worked on orientations (can't hover sideways facing left for toffee, in fact my nose in is better than both left and right side hovering!!) with some circles and reverse fig 8's. Did some untidy flips and stuck the heli in 4 times trying inverted hovering. Tail fin has a crack in it, canopy has a crack in the nose and the swash came apart twice but apart from that it bounced in the long grass quite well Tail has a twitch on it now so I guess one of the plastic gears is broken/bent so I'll change them to the metal ones. Might think of getting an upgraded swash if this one is going to keep on popping out.

Hopefully tomorrow's forecast of lighter winds will make trying inverted (my pitch timing is really terrible/ham fisted!!) hovering easier. Also need to find a larger space without trees and bushes as that does not help the confidence, amazing how trees attract helis....

Did YOU fly today??

Had my first proper session with my dx8 today
Loving it

Both 450 and 550dfc are happy and flying great

3 more on the Logo today. Pushing 13 minute flights now. The brain starts going to mush, don't think I could do much longer than that lol.

One test flight with my Rave Ballistic after my crash a few weeks ago, I really really love this Heli it is awesome

Had a great afternoon at the club today, flew all my 450 and 550 batteries without a single hiccup getting more comfortable with inverted circuits now, still prefer left to right though so more right work is needed

Also after 18 months of pressure from the plankers among us I finally gave in and was handed the tx to a 200ft high Wot 4 and......

I actually quite enjoyed it gentle turns, a few loops and a couple rolls and I only worried the owner once when I went for a dive inverted

I took my 9 year old daughter along and by the end of the day she was being buddied on another Wot 4 she loved it

Thanks Mike00Top you're a star

Also had a flight with my potential next purchase for an indoor flyer (mcpx bl) quite impressed I must say, flew just like my old v2 but with a chunk more power

Bothma allowed me to fly his Rave Ballistic. A great flight and a great heli. Only hope I get another crack at it on the weekend :-))

Yes, proper final flybarred logo flight just practicing piro flips. I figured how to get the disc rolling away from me from inverted to upright so I just need to suss out getting the disc flipping towards me again & i'll be starting piro tic tocs different to how I do them on the sim. I also upped my rudd from 85% to 90% in the hope of maybe doing them side to side like on the sim but I couldn't do it as I think I need to up the rudd more.

Had 3 flights with my Blade 450X, 3 flights on my new build from bits Trex 550FBL, both on MODE 2. Then 3 flights with my Hyperion Helios PLANK on MODE 1, which is the first time I have flown a PLANK or MODE 1 for over 2 years. No CRASHES.

Plus 1 on that. Its a great machine It just works. No frills design, not particularly cutting edge, but rock solid in the air with a huge enjoyment factor and presence in the air.

With G4 spares being somewhere in a distant land of myth, the Ballistic is king ... for now anyway.

Out again with the 130x at lunch so just 4 batteries through it...bit windy for it but good for the collective management Much more comfortable with circles in both directions (much better at clockwise than anti-clockwise) and nose in now. Will just keep hammering the basics until it's second nature and I'm comfortable in recovering it from all orientations so when I do get out of shape trying new moves I'll not be phased by the orientation. Did a few flips but wind was blowing it about all over the place (or was it my flying??!!) Put the Alu swash on as the stock plastic one came apart again (not because I crashed...) and put the Extreme green mains and tails on to aid visibility. Loving this little heli..........so far!!
