I got through 5 batteries worth of flying and I ain't had so much time in the air since I dumped nitro. Gorgeous day too. Got my vitamin D fix for the week.
Helicopter pilots get it up quicker.
When the blue light is flashing I am kidding.
Why simplify when it is so much simpler to complicate.
Managed to maiden the 500DFC today after a rebuild and fitting a Vortex. Flew great after a few very minor adjustments on the tail gain and cyclic gain. Just wish I had more time today. Managed to take advantage of the great sun and got some good pictures of Forza and Bothma.

I spent a good couple of hours doing nothing but the A certificate manoeuvres! And can I just say it's incredibly knackering standing there trying to hover precisely for 8 flights straight, each flight was 8:30 (plus a couple on the 450 for good measure!)
My forearms were done in from constant little corrections on both sticks Tring to keep the heli at a constant height/speed! It's made me even more keen to get into F3C though!! Blackshark fuselage and a 3 bladed head coming soon!!

Really precise hovering takes a lot of concentration! You realise very quickly that there's a huge difference between hovering in an arbitrary spot in the air and having to hover over a flag or a cone. I can almost do some F3C ish hovering if I just improv it without any flags, as soon as I have to hover over a marker of some kind it all goes out the window.
