  • Fantastic weather - Been flying today?

    The weather here has been amazing tonight.

    Full cloud cover (so no sun to blind me) and absolutely no wind at all.

    Tonight was just like flying on the sim and I managed to do quite alot of new stuff.

    I managed quite a lengthy inverted hover.

    I did a tail slide (flying backwards upside down)

    Unfortunately when I tried to do lots of flips on the spot I got a bit confused and crashed. Im not quite sure what happened but I think I got my collective inputs confused and lost lots of height and clipped the blades on the ground before I could recover.
    Only damaged the blades, mainshaft, maingear and feathering shaft so its not too bad.

    The last few days have been the best flying weather for ages and ive done loads of new stuff

    Cant wait to fly again tomorrow (nightflying as well)

    Hi,
    Fantastic isn't it. Been out 3 evenings on the trot. Getting about an hour and a half in after work. I'll be out again tomorrow evening and Friday afternoon. And the weather's looking good all weekend to.
    My Trex is flying spot on and my confidence is growing with every flight.
    Cheers, Rich
