Status: online 		2 packs on my hbk2. Loops and rolls. Did a few hurricanes. Interted hovers, climbouts, and some knife edge flight... Also some circuits. My first landing was a little rough, a 5 mph gust caught the heli about 1 foot off the pavement and slammed it down, but no damage. 2nd landing was great

Status: offline 		It''s been a good day so far. I started out with five airworthy helis and I still have one left that will fly but it''s only noon. Five packs and they all still have half a charge left in them.

Status: offline 		4 packs on my King2. Mostly practicing side-on spot landing (I can do it from the left but not from the right side...). Some stall turns and upright backwards practice too. First 3 packs went fine. On the 4th, lost it during a backwards circuit. Damage: main blades, feathering shaft, main gear and 2 stripped servos. Rebuilding now.

Status: offline 		3 to 4 packs every night on my HBK2, mostly inside, windy here in Indianapolis IN, ALWAYS.
I have a Lama V4, HBK2, Belt-CP and a LOGO 10. Been flying for 3 years. Haven't crashed in a month or so.
Practice hovering, snap 90 degree turns, left and right side in, and very low flying. Nose in, not yet.

Status: offline 		today was the perfect day t fly... mostly calm winds with a few scattered 3-5mph gusts.. 1 pack was mostly hovering and precision landings.. second pack.. I got adventurous and tried some FF... remember, I'm still real new to this... just took my training gear off 2 weeks ago.. well... I made it through a few circles... and tried a figure 8... made it 3/4 through that when the sudden wind of doom gusted to about 10mph.. rolling my BH450 onto it's side.. proving without a doubt that a heli cannot hovering in a knife edge.. 15 feet until I demonstrated how to properly land on your side. damage... a set of woodies, a feathering shaft and my landing gear (a little CA will have the strut holding good to take off and land.).. main is straight and flybar is straight... could have been much worse.

the guy I fly with... his Trex crashed on landing... his damage. boom, tail push rod, flybar, lost a flybar paddle, feathering shaft, blades, boom support, horizontal fin... his crash was from 6 inches off the ground.... Hmmm... lots of parts break on Trexes

Status: offline 		Three packs today (so far). Perfect weather really. 80, 10 knot wind. Practice side in hover 20 feet high, flying triangles & rectangles. A little forward flight, and sidways. Worked on softer spot landing without sidway's skid I seem to do often. Staying with the training gear for a while though. Its flying well and there is a lot left on the learning curve. Went back out just before sunset and did another pack on the Trex 450 and just played with side hover and landings. Caught the tail blade and broke it on the last landing. Got out the Xcell 60 with my son in law and fired it up again. Things seemed okay so I spooled it up until it hovered at 3 feet for a minute or so. Landed to check it all over. WOW what a RUSH that was. High fives and it was adult beverage time.
