  • I love it!!! First flying session!

    Well there it was... lovely evening and a slight breeze.
    Took the 450 down the feild to give her a proper little flight (after just hovering in the garden)... she flew just perfectly!! (Near enough) Apart from a slightly twitchy tail she was lovely!!

    Did some stall turns and general flying around and loved it! The sim really has helped.

    It was getting dark so brought her in and misjudged her a little so she took a slightly hard landing. Have to replace the flybar rod and right side of the upper frame (the canopy mountaing arm bent the frame slightly - so better safe than sorry)... But its time I ordered some spares (See here...

    Cannot wait to get back out there. Absolutely loved it. My old man was grinning like a clown too

      Well done m8, that's impressive progress from back garden hovering to stall turns in one go

        Well they weren't the mose ellegant or straight stall turns but its about as complicated as I dared try!
        Itching to get her inverted! But won't until someones does it with her first! I love it!

          Sounds to me like your a very good example and reason for recommending Phoenix

            That's the lesson isn't it?
            If you can't hover you can't land.
            Don't worry, I'm still learning that one as well.

            Glad you're enjoying though.
