  • Did YOU fly today??

    I thought i'd start this up as i haven't seen one on here. I also have to tell everyone that i did fly today & i had my BEST flights EVER. My flying over the last 4-5 months has not been that great. I had problems with my Trex 450 which ment a lot of down time & so my skills & my confidence suffered. Anyway on sunday i flew with a mate in reading & my flying sudenly improved MASSIVLY. I went flying on my way home from work earlier today to practice my new skills & all went fantastic. What i've now learn't is stationary slow piroetting in both directions, Piroetting circles (anticlockwise), i took my basic circles higher in the sky than before, & also i can now do backwards flight (anticlockwise circles only). I spent 4 packs doing all this continously & i came home buzzing. Weirdly enough i did not feal any nerves or get shacky hands or knees.
    I have been practicing piroeting circles a lot on phoenix & i'm at last managing to translate sim to real time flying. All these new skills has made me like my 450 even more. I'm now really looking foward to taking these new skills to my Logo 500

        I did fly my blade 400 today. I got my first proper nose-in (actually 2 batteries spent only on nose-in's). I also tried my first idle up (idle 1 on my Dx7). And even better ... my heli came home in one piece !!!

        Cheers,

                          Went to try to get my vision flying right again as it hasn't been right since a crash.
                          After 3 tanks had it flying alot better after an adjustment and a few tweeks here and there, hopefully after another session should have it working well again

                            sounds like you had fun Paddy! I havent been 450 flying for a couple of weeks as I am waiting for blades from Hong Kong after a recent misshap lol. You'll have to let us know the next time you venture out into the forest for a flight n I'll ask HQ if I'm allowed out to join you.
