What a beautiful day...

[Leebert]

...to sneak out at lunchtime for a quick flight or two in the park.

No wind to speak of and a deserted park - cool

[jiberjaber]

Looks good Lee - I am pondering going home and grabbing the heli myself and heading off to a park for a quick bash around.

[Mike W]

I was waiting for the blade 400 and got bored so bought a T-rex 450. Whether you stay "stong" or not, I doubt you will be dissapointed.

PS Ran through 3 packs today in my lunch break, and loved every second !

That was the second time with the little rex. The first one was much higher but I found it easier closer to the ground.
No one took a photo of me but I bet my face was a picture of concentration

Brill, Well done Lee, that deserves a pat on the back mate.
Glad that you had the balls to try, Ive been thinking about it,
yep just thinking

Well theres no going back now.

[Sesame]

well done leebert, ive just started practising inverted the last couple of weeks, still not got the bottle to bring it down too low yet.

i'm getting good at it on the sim, so i'll hopefully see this week how much that helps down the field.

My day was not so good.
Couldnt get the 30 started after revamp god knows whats up with it now.
So I flew the 450 se v2 with the higher head speed, got 4 mins out of it .
Got out the 600af & it was flying realyeven after I chucked it down the stairs last weekit flew well right up to the point that the low voltage cut off started pulsing the motor. I panicked brought it down far to quick & stuffed tha tail blades in the long grass.
Damage is a set of tail blades, stuffed belt, stuffed slider, stuffed tail spindle & god knows what else.
I'm on the verge of selling it all up & running back to my beloved 3d planes

don't get like that martin, we all have these rubbishy days now and then I had mine last week with the knight.

[Tim Procter]

Bugger!!!!! Ive had a hell of a day and rushed home to grab just one flight with the 450SE V2 before light became dark..


Look at it this way, All weekend to do what we do best and the forcast is pretty good too..

So I flew the 450 se v2 with the higher head speed, got 4 mins out of it so I think the spartan gyro will be sold now.

Damage is a set of tail blades, stuffed belt, stuffed slider, stuffed tail spindle & god knows what else. This brings me to one serviceable heli with a spartan gyro & tail sevro that dont hold very well at all, which is the 450se unfortunatly Ive just sold the only gyro that worked in this heli to raptor50luvver, the spartan doesnt work on it unless you get a gazillion rpm on the head speed.
