A small amount of progress!

[Brian Gifford]

Well, I managed to get out today for the first time since the middle of January.

I managed 7 seconds of nose-in, followed by 10 seconds.

Not much compared to our 3D wizards, but a small step forward for me.

I did think about trying some more flips, but I bottled out.

Well, I didn't really fancy rebuilding my heli again before I went up to Tim's.

[Tim Procter]

Sounds like your heading in the right direction Brian.

Small steps lead to big improvements.

Stick with it mate.

Nose in hovering is ruddy hard work Brian

You should be proud of yourself

[MartinH]

Nice nice on the nose-in really cant wait till I start doing it.

[Nick B]

Nice one Bri....it gets like tail-in hovering before you know it

I too achieved 2 goals this arvo,static rolls and rolling stall turns,jeez i was nervous....i even done 2 rolls in foward flight.....couldnt get my head together to do it with the nitro's,trusty 500 did the deed...they were'nt even ugly

Your gonna love your trip to Tim's place

Well done Brian... Good work mate..

Nothing wrong with steady as long as its in the right direction

Nice one Brian. Keep it up - the challenge from Tim between you and I for the first inverted hover still stands methinks! I'd best get practising!

Thanks, Martin. I reckon it's anybody's game so far?

Giving yourself little goals like this really keeps you pushing yourself on. Well done so far, but whats next? Circuits? keep at it mate, progress is a fantastic feeling

Thanks, Jamie. The plan is, get comfortable with nose-in, then circuits and proper 8s. That's as far ahead as I'm looking at the moment.

Oh, why is this ringing bells with me???

Must get some serious stick time in this year.
