Not quite sure what my neighbours must think but my nightly routine seems to have become sitting in my bedroom with my back to the window staring intently at my bed for an hour or so.
Spent the last couple of days willing my MCPX to hang motionless above a table mat on the my bed, seems like such a simple thing to do. Slowly making progress and gone from endlessly chasing the heli around in an ever more erratic and widening circle whilst shouting at it to stay still, to a much slower almost controlled wander across my bed with only occasional mumbled curses. Actually managed to get it to stand still for a little while today. I can feel that the elusive hover is not far off and then I can move onto 2 table mats and trying to move from one to the other.
Only flown an MSR before so this is what I consider my first really heli and it's fantastic for learning on, dread to think what I would of spent in spare parts if I'd bought a 400 size heli instead of this. Plus I get to practise every night regardless of the weather.
Has anyone else adopted any peculiar night time habits as a result of an MCPX under the Christmas tree or is it just me?
I watched a couple of guys from the local club flying just before Christmas, hovering motionless, nose in and inverted in a slight gusting wind about 2 feet up. Even more impressed by the skill required to fly like that compared to the effort of hovering above a table mat on my bed!
