  • First inverted hovering today :)

    Hey all,

    Been out flying the Trex600N today. I'm having so much fun with it I only got it at the start of the year and have put about a gallon and a half through it. At the point of getting it, I could only hover. I am now doing circuits, stall turns and flips, and today, I plucked the courage (thanks to Lee pushing me ) to do some inverted hovering. I'm only talking maybe 10-15s at once, but it felt good doing it and I'm quite chuffed.

    Also, thanks to Lee (Made2Fade) for all the help he's given me with the setup and tuning etc. Without him, I have no doubt it would have been brought back in a bin bag by now.

                    Aye, but not till 5 mins after I landed lol. I made the mistake of turning into the wind, now my face has stuck with an ear to ear grin across it
