  • Did anyone fly today

    it was so windy in london today that i couldnt get to fly i did try and hover yesterday in my back yard but the wind was so bad that is was so hard to try and keep a stable hover, am hoping that tomorrow is a bit better and maybe i can get out and do some flying.

      Hell yer It was mental !!!
      I needed to test my new outrage hv tail servo which was all good I was also impressed with the way the v-bar handles the wind no rolling on ail or ele only up and down collective movements!
      Was amazing how a set of ele tick-tocks where enough to lift me 300 ft in to the sky was lime riding thermals :0)

                    Luckily up in Darlington it was only around 10 mph so two of us were up at the field and had a few decent flights.

                    Forecast for tomorrow looks about the same 10 mph wind but also forecasting rain so that could put a stop to flying.

                      First outdoor flight of the year for me here in Ballymoney. Not the best of days but stayed dry no real breeze and not freezing. Got the Raptor up and down in one piece even if I was a little rusty.

                            Aimee, keep an eye on the for sale threads if you can view them as there are always heli's available in there.
                            Nik.

                            Before you ask:

                            About 2 miles
                            Over £500
                            Very difficult
                            Over 80mph
                            NO, you can't have a go



                            Don't forget the 'Search' and 'Thanks' buttons.
