Well done Laurence!

Let us all know how you find going fbl when you have it.

Thanks mate, I've been flying both a Logo 400 V-Bar and recently a Logo 600 V-Bar which is just a dream to fly so I know I'll love it.

Pricey little upgrade though....

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back from doing my first inverted autos with my Logo 500! And my first backwards and piro autos!

I noticed when I piro it drains a LOAD of headspeed and can whip sometimes, so I guess the 553mm main blades don't work too well with the additional load of the tail rotor.


My first inverted auto went well, but when I was coming in the wind blew it too far back and for the first time ever I bailed out with power which went just perfect... The next three were just fine!

I will wait until I convert to 600 before I start doing more advanced autos. (but maybe I won't :O)

I haven't been so buzzed up about something for a long time, very glad I can now end flights with inverted autos like the sim..

To top if off I did some autos with my Trex pro too!


Wooooohoooooo!!!! I was really looking foward to us having just a normal auto comp but it seems like that's out the window now



Also ordered Mikado V-Bar, Logo 500 V-Bar head and some other bits and bobs for it .

Wooohoooo!!!! nice one matey. Thing is i was looking foward to us having a normal auto comp between us but it looks like thats out the window now

Spent all day at the field was first one there and last one to leave, great day set up the governor on the velocity with the help of Ian. Good weather apart from the big gusts of wind, kept you on your toes. And when i got home the wife had sorted out the garden all nice and neat and tidy, life is so good lol

I'd rather not talk about it

Just been down Southampton Common, up the top end where it's quiet and flew 3 packs out on my Gaui200 (first propper outing for it)- Best Heli flights I've had in ages - small heli but frisky as hell - fantasic! loops and inverted seemed allot easier than on the 450 (maybe mind over matter and being a small heli less worry of a big crunch) - and MUCH more responsive! I think this is my favorite electric heli so far.

First time out after an operation 3 weeks ago, nice and calm at home so traveled 12 miles to the site and found it blowing a gale, sat and admired the view for half an hour then came home where it was still as calm as a mill pond, so frustrating!!
Anyone know Buxton, its a different world up there, still snow on the tops and under the walls.

Re: Did YOU fly today??

Noooooo!!!

And I thought I might get to have a couple of flights after work today... I'm only 6 miles down the road and it's absolutely gorgeous here

Well, what the hell.. Maybe it'll calm down later fingers crossed..

I took the 450 up today and did some shaky loops and rolls to try and regain some confidence back after stoving both my Raptor (Monday) and 450 (yesterday).

Noticed I had visibly shaking thumbs whilst at the controls - which was alarming.

Took the TX and a copy of Phoenix into work and gave some of my colleagues ago - they have found a new respect for the levels of skill required to fly these things.

Do they understand that they are NOT a childs toy now???

I've put four packs through the Gaui in the back garden since i've been home (well one earlier when i popped home earlier) & each one was constant tail in circles. There looking pretty good for the space i'm doing them in, almost a proper pie dish/funnel actually as they are quite tight they are funnels.

Great day flying with Dan today! Even got a few videos, takes forever uploading so just these for now, few more to come which I will post here!

Little windy during the 450 time then when we flew the big Logos the wind went! Making autos pretty hard and inverted ones pretty much impossible, had to bail out today .

Put 3 packs through a mine today, it's still in one piece so I called it a day. I need a bigger area to learn, my back garden isn't big enough and I'm not sure if my wife would appreciate me decapitating her shrubbery!
