walking the dog

[moyesboy]

I was watchig the JK walking the dog vid with the 500 on the indoor carpet, making it walk along on the front of the skids.

Then I tried to do it on phoenix.

It appears to me that the stick/slip of the ground surface makes this impossible in phoenix. Of course it could just be too difficult for me, but the grippiness of different ground surfaces is not very realistic (one of the reasons why the helis tip over so much more easily than in real life).

So if anyone can do it, post a rec and make me feel inadequate. JK makes it look so easy.

you can edit the skid friction on each model, but as said, it would be better if the helis interacted differently with different surfaces

I've done it at my indoor meet
Good bit of fun!

I tried it last night with a couple of smaller helis, and managed it okay. I also flew a TREX 500/450/600 and 600N in a 20mph wind, gusting to 22mph, and actually managed to keep it in a hover for a bit, then tried a plank and guess what? It went in the lake (plop!) oops. LOL, you guys are right, helis handle wind waaaay better.

BTW just to test the wind I turned on the windsock, straight out and swinging like a 60's dancer LOL
