  • Wish Me Luck

    I knew my flying time this year was going to be a bit it and miss with work, so I set myself 3 goals.

    1. Cut the grass at the field inverted, done first and loved it.
    2. Piro flip, they're not pretty all the time but the timing is coming along nicely.
    3. Lastly, inverted backwards circuits. this has been the single hardest thing i've had to learn up to now and it just didn't seem to be coming at all. Then it clicked on the sim (too many nights alone in a hotel room) so it will be unleashed on the field at the weekend.

    I know it doesn't seem like much to you 3d sky gods but for me I've realised it really opens up my flying in ways I'd not thought of. So guys work on your orientations before going for the harder stuff as it really pays off in the end. Hopefully get it nailed for real at the weekend, and who knows maybe Grass Roots for me next year

      Good luck Dave you will be fine. Remember don't make the mistake of trying to go to fast. It's a nice controlled Backwards Inverted circuit your after first, not a hurricane.

      Looking forward to seeing how you get on
      Cheers Matt

          I can vouch for that.

                    Best of luck Dave. Just keep it 'two mistakes high' until you're totally comfy

                    I'm still quite happy with forward inverted and anything backwards twists my

                      Good luck Dave. Im sure you will have no problems if you have already got piroflips nailed. I have managed to do some inverted backwards circuits on my 450 ( admittedly only clockwise and the last few attempts i have bailed 3/4 of the way through) but im a loooong way off piro flips. If I can manage it im sure you will have no worries as you are undoubtedly a lot more advanced in your flying than i am.

                          Hey buddy.

                          Good luck dude, but I am sure you'll soon get the hang of them and be on to the next set of goals :-)
                          I remember learning my backwards circuits flying a JR NEJ1000 non-heading hold gyro :-/ quite a few years ago now.

                            You don't need luck Dave. As you said you can do it in the sim, just need to do it for real and you'll be doing them every flight Go for it!
