  • First loops

    I just completed my first loops today. I did about 8 on my first battery. My second battery resulted in a crash on the first loop though. Only about £40 worth of damage. It was good fun though.

      Kool, keep it up.

      if remember doing my first loop, took ages too build up too. And when I finally done it i thought my head was going to pop.
      never had the same buzz since. Looks like a roll next then I found them really easy.

                I did think it would be 450 when you mentioned the cost, will you get it built by weekend

                  Well done mate - takes some nerve to do the very first one as your never too sure how its gonna work lol...

                  Remember.. keep a cool head and keep it up high to allow for mistakes.

                  I find its a hard balance between keeping the "Fear" at bay but at the same time not being over confident and going too far beyond your abilities.

                  Keep at it you'll be doing them easy as pie before you know it...

                        Congratulations, well done and as others say... it is easier on the bigger heli. Just make sure the clouds are not too low as you can get some height with the bigger one!

                        Cheers,
