not much flying lately for me.. spent a week in St. Louis on a business trip and it seems I brought the rain from there back to Georgia with me.. that's ok.. more sim time isn't a bad thing while I wait on my new heli to arrive


Yea, that is all we had for the past month. Rain. But I managed to get out yesterday and take this quick hop. And this is like my 1rst real try at a flight for almost 6 months I bet. So don't make fun.

Haha, tell me about it. I used to be able to do some fun stuff with that little heli. Now, I can barely do a figure eight. Time to hit the sim!

But I'm going to be going to college soon, and I kind of need that thing called money, and a new R/C heli is quite low on the list of things needed, unfortunately.

Status: offline 		Did some more trimming on my CP, and wow can this thing be stable! It never used to be this stable. Can't wait to see what it can do once I start doing some more advanced maneuvers. By the way the area I am hovering in is about 8 foot by 10 foot.

Status: offline 		Got out for two packs this morning on the 450. Before I started I re-programed the ESC. It flew awesome and no voltage drops. I had it set on beginner cutoff (high stick). Now its on low stick and all is well. I flew my first circles turning left, no problem. Circles to the right.....I did it but wow I was crazy how I tensed up. Played with some nose in hover and picked it up into some fff with circle turns. I had to laugh when I noticed the rubber skid stops were almost worn out. When I built the kit I thought to myslef "that is something that will NEVER need to be replaced". Time to move to idle up and play with flips and rolls! LOL We have some family coming over this afternoon and plan to get the 500 up also.

I flew 2 packs in my Axe CP first. I practiced on my nose left orientation hovering/FF(I am finally getting away from over-correcting)and practiced my nose in. Then I had a decent breeze kick up, so I moved over to my Black Hawk and flew another battery with that. Sim time is working on inverted hovering...hopefully I will move to the heli by end of the week(?).

Status: offline 		Sprouthouse, what is a rainbow?

Ran two more batteries in the 450 last evening and barely did anything. Either my concentration was out to lunch or I just suck. Keeping orientation with a green vegatation backround with that blue / white / yellow canopy is difficult for me. I got home early today so I decided to fly the 500. I had reprogramed the ESC to 6v and installed a step down for the tail servo cause it cant take 6v. The 500 is very easy to see (red) and really does well in wind. Just hovering and trying slow piro's for one pack. I may need to put a bit of expo in to soften the center a bit cause she is really responsive now. I will fly a few times before I do though.
