  • Almost windless here today. Had eight good, back to back flights with 300X - ran out of lipos and couldn't recharge quickly enough! Followed on with two good flights with Blade 400 FBL. It did me a world of good. Helis cleaned and checked, all lipos recharged and ready for further action.

    • 7 flights in windy conditions with my 500 an hour ago. Love my 500!

      • Bit of mowing with the 550 today
        The backwards flying is becoming more natural now and doesn't look so forced

          • damn its windy out there - quickly went to the field to test the new toy - what can I say ... first one I had a brain fart incident all the way ... had dialed in 40% of positive expo did a corrections and overall test - as usual spooled it up up in the air and flipped it and you know the rest shit - into all directions but was able to get it back upright, level and to the ground ... quick look at the transmitter - lol you fool (should have been negative) ... corrected it and still a bit sharp but ok ... tail needed a better setup, so a few ups and downs - changed the packs, few more corrections to the setup, next flight was much better but still could do with a bit of tweaking ... so did that before the third flight - all good - next steps: advancing the setup but it seems to be where I need it

                • Yep, overall a good day. It was pretty windy and it wasn't supposed to rain... but it did anyway! Luckily I had a couple tea towels to dry everything off. Try as I might to shelter the helis and stuff it was just too windy and my old BBC umbrella has seen better days, so I did get a bit wet but dried out nicely afterwards.

                  The Vortex on V3 is pretty darn good with minimal tweaks, just a slight increase in tail gain and it was good to go, no bad behaviour to speak of.

                        Yes I'm thinking of starting a thread called "Are you stupid enough to try something you can't do, low down, in the wind, after taking painkillers that make you drowsy on the first flight of the day"....

                            • No, but did a quick hover yesterday after work at the backgarden to test the hc3sx on the 7hv and it was spot on. I will be flying tomorrow to fine tune the heli, 4 packs charged ready to be used.
