Pheonix play around today

Yeah i used to do that but i tend to switch back into normal mode to land now as it feels more controlled for me. Obviously the less headspeed the less twitchy the heli is

Take the training gear off. It wont help in a crash from that hieght. The heli will fly better too

I started with it incase I couldn't fly aswell as on the sim. But I found out straight away I was ok. But didn't have a knife to cut the cable ties. Bought a 500 landing skids to give it a better stance.

Definitely agree with 24seven, get that gear off, and gentler on the sticks

Cheers mate. Get some more flights in over the weekend.

Yeah, let's hope the weather holds out for you, practice, practice....lol. Once you get above a couple of feet hovering those training gear become more of a problem than help, there great for learning orientation too just skidding the heli along the ground. When I first took my skids off I just hovered a few inches, then landed, kept doing that till I felt comfortable....Hope you have a good weekend....

Yeah I feel confident getting up high. Constant and regular sim time has leap frogged me in learning how to control the heli. Hopefully get my dad to video me on my phone so it's not as zoomed out as my gopro. Got at least 12 3s lipos so will be a good weekend. I've got a broken nano cpx at my parents too which I need to fix. Not touched that for a year either. Could never fly it, was like a wasp.

I seen you get that bird pretty high up there mate, but don't try and run before you can walk, get those basics mastered first, it's a must... If you loose orientation up there it's going to be an expensive crash, take it from someone who spent more time fixing than flying...lol

Plenty of batteries there then...keep you going a while

I think the camera made it seem alot further away. I prob ventured about 60-70 metres away on the attempted stall turns. And prob about as high as a house high maybe 1abd a half at points. I didn't want to end up with a mad mistake when I was trying inverted. Cheers.
