Superb day today flying down at North Notts Flying Club, flew the Trex 500l dominator the Trex 550 DFC Pro and the Trex 700E HV Pro. I must say the 500l Dominator is fantastic to fly, Top marks Align
Got some good flights today, sunny but windy. I think now I am finally getting the SK540 where it needs to be, upped the gain and set it back to auto-tune. Last time in windy conditions it was all over the place and now it's feeling pretty good. My canopy came off on the first flight! But fortunately it didn't hit anything and just fell into the grass so I was seriously lucky this time.

Spent hours last night getting the ESC on my 480 to do nothing more than it already did (dont ask) and the batteries have sat on the side as i went to the park this morning to paddle in the pool and to a childrens bbq this afternoon.
Why can't kids have an off switch for an hour a day so i can do what i want to do just once in a while!
Had 9 flights this morning with the trex 550 at the small field practising tic tocs, they are looking ok but still iffy, did a couple of loops with a piro at the top and even attempted a piro flip but looked more like a piro-flop!!!!
Then did 8 flight at the big field on the 550sx increased the headspeed a bit and the tic tocs were nicer.

Early bird flying this morning... using some heavier 7s packs that make the 800 feel more suited to my flying style. I've only got 11.5° pitch, but the 1,900rpm makes it feel very lively.
11 flights yesterday afternoon. Pretty windy but had fun still and I normally don't like flying in wind as much. Even the Oxy3 got thrown around in the wind

Had 4 flights on the 380 this morning in which I nearly hit the ground, crapped myself to be honest but somehow managed to save it :-) that's what you get when you hardly go up the field and never use the sim anymore lol

went out with the intention of getting past the mental block regarding certain maneuvers, finally cracked tail and nose down funnels
And no crashes either !!
