              What's good about that ? Couldn't even fly in a straight line ! LoL ! Awesome skills that Osborne 's got. Does he just go from one move to the next without any planning d'you reckon, or is the whole flight worked out beforehand I wonder ? Simply stunning.

                      Put a 3GX, Vbar, Beastie or a HK jobbie on it and to us it will still look damn awesome

                        Is it true that he uses a csm720 on the tail with 3gx tho ?

                            Well, it had it's 2nd maiden today. My initial thoght was to make it fbl when I got it but I put that off and fitted the 720 and kept the flybar. Well this week it became flappypaddleless and boy is it nice. Got a bit to do to tweak wise but omg does it feel better, standard fbl Align head and AR7200BX. I felt instantly better and more confident even though it was a 20mph wind in my face and bloody cold.

                            Tidy the wires up a bit and wait for a V Bar to come up at the right time and price and it will be barred before Xmas hopefully. The BeastX is nice though, the tail is better than my 600 and thats good, stops are equal, the only thing I had which I didn't like was a tail wander in backwards hurricanes. I reckon heading lock gain so will play through the week and hopefully sort that out.

                            Anyone use pitch boost and a different cyclic response, what settings and how does it change the feel

                                Well had a couple more flights yesterday and have to say it's a very different flying experience to the 600. Dropped the cyclic gain a touch and added a little expo and although not completely locked its starting to feel better. Had my first auto too, brought about by my normal behaviour of running out of fuel, I've even fitted a timer to stop me doing it but didn't set it No damage just picked up a bit of the field on the skids.

                                But, after seeing Delerados new 700n yesterday I can see me moving on quite quickly Nice to meet you too Carl, some nice flying.
