  • How Chuffed am I :D

    OK so after fannying around for ages getting the hang of this hovering thing, I managed to surprise most of the Kinross boys by looping my 500. then I did it again, and again and again

    I also looped my 600e but the battery was flat a bit quick and then I looped the 500 some more and did a fair bit of Fast Forward flight with a roll and some stall turns

    Finished with a small auto



    The best bit? Apart from surprising my club mates? I brought all the heli's home in one piece

                        On another note one of my Club mates was not so lucky. He forgot to switch off dual rates and binned his 90 raptor big time while looping to go inverted.

                        To say he was annoyed with himself is being generous.

                            Ok so update

                            Was at the field for a little while this evening, Did some more loops, another roll and now Flips

                            Nearly lost it flipping the 600 but 500 was fine. For some reason the 600 loops ok but backflip ended up all over the place Not got the bottle to roll her yet !

                              In comparison.. My 600 does it better/easier and I feel more confident?

                              And I was the same.. once you start... you cant stop!! lol!!
