What a fantastic day. I have just come back from the field with Orange Colin and it's been a blinder. Apart from when doing my Rapid Rotors I have not flown FF, well today I decided to bite the bullet and go for it.
I leant to hover with a E-Sky belt-cp and still had it so i bound it to my DSX9 and set it up. Well at the field I spun her up in normal and went for a circuit. Well I can fly the sim and was sure it was only the fear of trashing the rappy that was holding me back, and sure enough it was.
After a couple of circuits I thought in for a penny and all that and when for a stall turn. Bingo two complete rotations and back down again, turned into a tail in hover and landed. My hands were shaking and I was grinning like an idiot.
Here is the video sorry about the quality.

Next flight, right idle up and inverted. I checked the curves and spooled up to 50% and flicked into Idle up. Same as before a couple circuits then up just like the beginning of the stall turn but this time I just kept it coming once upside down applied some negative pitch and back cyclic. Bingo inverted hover at about 40 feet. I held it for about 5 seconds and the rolled out. Unfortunately I didn't get any video but i will next time i promise.
Well that’s it. I have now change my boxers and stopped shaking, but i will be charging the lipos to go again tomorrow. Just wish I could do it with the Rappy now.
