RE: Agusta, she flys! (well hovers)
Congratulations Gary!!!
Could see your broad smile on the 1st video, you must be a very happy bunny! LOL!
2nd and 3rd video see her hovering so much better and stable too. At the end of the video she seems wanting to fly higher above the wall and fly away! LOL!
Nicely done Sir and hope you will bring her out for forward flight soon

Hiya Steven, many thanks. I just typed a whole paragraph and my b/band dropped out!
I posted the first flight as it shows the first tentative nerve racking steps into hover. Remember I have not been doing this very long but as it happened the head and TX setup were virtually spot on. The big problem is the small size of garden so you are right, I must find a local fling club and get some space to manouvre although I have successfully taught myself to fly with the 450. I have to say your recent build thread spurred me on to flying something nice, and yes, you are right, I am chuffed. In my opinion everone should be forced to watch Finless vids, they are a massive help for a beginner.
Thanks again for the encouragement, much appreciated, Gary.

Looks great, It is a nitor chopper then, I want to get a fuselage but I am getting a Raptor E550 electric and someone else bought up the aspect of cooling inside a fuselage with an electric chopper, and I don't know where that leaves me!

No, it's an electric and I have no cooling problems, see this for compatibility chart.

Just keep in mind the compatability charts are not completly accurate...Call there tech line 408-451-1155 And they can almost always tell you what you need to do for most applications...
