  • another first for me anyway....

    Knocked the tail over to standard instead of heading hold, first time I've flown like that and held it okay, 1 hard landing and 2 normal landings later (in the garden too... ) and she's still intact.

        Me Either, but figured what happens if the gyro ever fails in HH mode? Need to find out so I'm ready for it. Tried a very small auto-rotate the other day too, luckily only a couple of feet up off the ground as I had no time to catch the tail She flipped round a bit then dropped, no damage done though.

        On another note, I've just recorded some onboard footage in the garden, it's hovering I'm afraid but if you guys would like to see it I'll whack it up on YT and link to it, but only if you want to see it. I was trying to find a way to smooth the camera out. Oh, and it's a bit cliche but it's set to Der Valkyrie.... Soz.
