Did YOU fly today??

[scallybert]

Went out with the G5 in the wind (Chingford). Having stacked it in my first outing last week, I decided to play safe & keep the training gear on the whole time.

The wind was a new experience, but seemed ok. Ran 4 packs through, hovering in various unadventurous orientations.

Didn't crash. So that's 1 out of 2... Got more adventurous with the BuzzFlys in the lounge when got home...

I put a pack through the Logo today. My flying was shyte. I haven't flown for a week & it shows. I also realise i fly my Logo better when i warm 1st with a couple of packs on my 450. Unfortunatly i'm still waiting for some main grip bearings & it's way too windy to fly my Airwolf.

I did indeed - had a blast, as always. One little lad lost control of his 450 but it wasn't too bad. I came home in one piece, as did my heli.

Went out today,was windy but ok though.

Got my 250 in the air properly for the first time today.Was struggling in the wind with it but it handled it better than what I thought.Done some flips and loops and even managed to get it inverted.

Quite a few helis today and we all had some real good flights

I had a fantastic day today.

I didnt get to the felid till late as I was watching the GP.

There was no wind for my first flight so I just spent that hovering around and making sure I hadnt completely forgotten how to fly. As ive not been flying for 2 weeks.

There was alot of wind for battery two and I struggled to fly around.

Battery three and I accidentally took of in rate mode, but I got it under control and landed it
Took off again and I finally managed to do some propper circuits with big wide fast turns and contant height and I didnt let the heli drift away from me like I usually do.
I never had the confidence to fly the heli towards myself after the turn before so I would zig zag away from myself after a few turns. This week I managed to fly towards myself after the turn, as long as I keep it moving forward it wasnt too bad.

Next week more circuits and some nose in hovering

Yep flew my Beam today... Did a dumb ass thing to high on a windy afternoon and lost it in the sun...still 20 mins later it was repaired and back out to the field... for a test flight and another 4 batteries.. Phew and eventfull day really

The Beam e4 is a tough little heli for sure total cost of repairs about a tenner

[tourerjim]

Yep although very windy managed 3 heli's 5 lipo's no crashes.

Had a good day today, after a few changes to the 250 3batteries in garden was a good start to the day, then over to the field where I put three packs through the mini titan, two through the Rex500 and a couple of flights on the plank I recently got.
All home safely and another pack through the 250 to finish off the day.
Enjoyed it no end

No flying here I'm afraid...

Of what??? Or do you have your 600 now & afraid to fly that??


I flew my 450 this morning. Only done 1 pack as it was 8:20 & i thought i best not take the P.... & fly another 3 & so started work instead. That 1 pack though was just bliss. High smooth flying.
