Ok so I have a few bits and pieces I'd like to share with you all.
The first being that not so long a go I had a Birthday and for this Birthday my girlfriend arranged a meal with all my good friends at a local restaurant.
I didn't realise until this how much my friends all new of my love for helicopters... I received a mini Lego helicopter
a book with a helicopter that you fly threw the pages (yep it's coool) and to top it off my amazing girlfriend and friends made me this sweet heli cake 
(yes you might notice the contradiction but hey she's a heli noob, bless her socks)

The second being that today I had the most amazing flights yet!!
I learnt so much new stuff it made my knees tremble with adrenaline and gave me cheek strain because i was smiling so much!!
Up until today i had done basic forward flight, circuits both ways, nose in, sideways flight etc but nothing more. I went to a local field with a friend and as I'm sure your all well aware the sun was out and it felt glorious to not have numb thumb for once!! I started with the mini titan se and put a new battery in (bought off of IanC) . Me and My friend couldn't believe the difference!! The helicopter transformed into a head wrenching collective beast!!! The Zippy 2200mah 30c batteries made me realise how bad/old my 1800mah Duremax was! After a quick fiddle with the throttle/pitch curves it became super smooth and sooo fast!! I just couldn't contain my joy and ended up releasing it by trying stall turns for the first time and then piro stall turns cause my friend said to lol they were so fun!! (this is about where my fingers started to tingle with joy.
After that I then switched to my T-rex 500 esp (only had 2 packs on prior to today) and gave that a fly doing some nice circuits then I did a few piro stall turns. For some reason I then thought I'd try some backwards circuits and pulled them clean first time At this stage I was getting very excited that all that phoenix time was paying off! Sooo I kinda thought that's it, i've got to get this thing doing a flip or two..... an Aileron roll,, back flip and forward flip later my grin was uncontainable!! To finish it off I even did a really controlled inverted hover for about 30 seconds (a voice inside said "try an inverted circuit" then another said "SHUT UPPP!!!") lol Sooooo happpy!! This hobby RoCKS!!
I ride skateboard,BMX and Ski and after today I realised how damn similar all these sports are in the fact they give you such an adrenaline buzzzz mentally as well as physically WoW I'm still pumped and it's 11:30pm!!
Sorry for the length of the thread but I just had such an awesome day!!
Role on Summer!!
