  • first Hurricane!!

    After getting really comfortable on the sim with this i finally clenched my middle region and went for it with the 450 pro!!

    Did 3 or 4 fairly neat but nearly lost it twice with the tail completely blowing out

    First move where i have had any probs with the tail on this heli, bit scary!!

    Need to pluck up the courage to do it with the 50 size next but still wonder why the tail completely let go on my beloved pro

    Anyway.... happy that ive pushed myself with a more complex move

    Happy days!

    Well done, Mark. It's great to see people making progress. A bit worrying about the tail, tho. No doubt some of the gurus on here will assist.

                Cheers dude... you said it may be the loading of the head but it still seemed a bit severe and something i hoped the heli/gyro could cope with?

                Guess thats the most scary part of the move and something i definately would not wan't to happen with either of my Vibes should i be craaaaaaazy enough to give it another go LOL

                  Not on the Sim but require balls of an elephant to try first off in real time IMO!! LOL

                    Remember my aurora tail let go on one a few weeks ago, again because i over loaded the head, scary but ok

                      well done Mark the hurricaine is pretty hard on the tail, probably just need to knock the gain up a bit
