  • Finally got the X5 in the air...

    So, a couple of months after I built it, I finally plucked up the courage to get the X5 in the air... although it was only for a quick "maiden" hover.

    Realised that I got left and right round the wrong way on the tail though. I was so concerned about getting the swash set-up correctly and the BeastX making sure the tail points straight, that I didn't even think to check that the left-right control was right from the rudder stick. Anyway, I'll fix that for the next flight.

    Even though I've only had it in the air for a couple of hovers yesterday, I really want to fly it now. Thinking that I should have got into this hobby on the way into summer and not winter. When is it going to stop raining, and when is the sun going to come out?

    Current: Gaui X5 FES (Spartan Vortex) : Trex 450 Pro DFC (BeastX) : Blade 130X : Blade mCPX : Blade Nano CPX
    Sim: Phoenix v4
    TX: 14sg : DX7s

    Nice, lucky you had a good tail lock, too many rudder inputs from you and it could have got nasty very quick.
