Did YOU fly today??

[p4ddy]

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!

Is it bigger than this???

Is it bigger than this???

Unfortunately no!
Extension, multiple levels and shed means not a lot of space!

a beautiful day, it started snowing only as it got dark...
My trusty old Outage 550 got about 15 flights, plus almost one gallon with the 600.

There are a couple of F3N set moves recognizeable in the video. If you look hard enough

0:15: tictocs. The tail rotor should stay in the same position. Yeah yeah...
0:45: rolling circle. The tail boom should always point in the direction of flight. Crashing is explicitly discouraged.
1:28: inverted figure 8 (1:32: first 90 deg turn, then left-hand circle 1:35 and right-hand circle 1:41)
2:08: backwards figure 8 (2:11: first 90 deg turn, left-hand circle 2:15, right-hand circle 2:23)
piroing circles around 2:40 (didn't pay attention to the approach and exit etc)
piroflips. 3:40 those aren't pretty.
then I'm taking off the leash and let the heli just run. I think it's trying some traveling-flip / tumbling circles. Or maybe it's just drunk
then, back on the leash, 360 degree piro with roll at 4:50. Next the beep from the transmitter, but the heli LiPo wins the endurance race over the camera LiPo by a couple of seconds ...

Very nice Gav. Just got back from the field myself - too windy on the hill at BMAC. Shame. Looks like it will be more mSR time........

[p4ddy]

The line is removable.

Got up this morning and it was dead calm outside

I have been waiting to hover my Mini Titan in calm weather since learning, finally got the chance, now I know it's set up correctly....hands off hover for about 5 seconds before it drifted sideways. Wooohooooo what a buzz.

Hovered tail-in and side-in for about 12 minutes with a little forward flight now and then, then went to work with a big cheesy grin on my face.
People at work asked "why looking so happy" I reply "flew my Heli" ....they dont understand

Setup is:
All stock head
Align Carbon 325's
GP750 + DS420
HS55 on Cyclic
2250mAh Lipo

Happily flown today . Lovely blue skies and very calm...

Took the 450 FBL Sport out for a blast.. and then took the Logo 500 vbar later in the day..

Really is a joy to fly in calmer and more ideal conditions than I have flown recently.

...also nice tocome home with helis still in one peace

....my Rave exploded on me last time!

[coptermanic]

So calm here that I flew the mSR outside. Unfortunately domestic jobs getting in the way!!! And a bonfire!!!!!!!!!

Sick as a parrot, best weather this year, purchased a new DX7 on tuesday (not arrived yet problem with courier) sold my Futaba ff9 and posted on wednesday, me sat here looking at 3 hellies, a computer screen and bright sunshine outside with no wind outside.

Must be early in the season... took the Beam out a lunchtime, and halfway through my third pack got halfway through a loop and suffered complete brain fade. Nose into the deck, bits everywhere!

Hopefully it'll get better!
