This is really funny & incredibly dumb. I have outdone myself again (Last time I backed over my new helicopter, after the FIRST flight)

This Sunday, I took my 27% Lanier CAP-232 with Brison 3.2 out to the flying field. I had no plans on flying the plane as it IS far from being ready. The cowl is not fitted, the throws are not setup, the fuselage covering needs to be patched where the rudder servo formerly sat.

Anyways, I have full 3D throws with no expo or anything dialed in.

We maidened my friends GP Patty Extra with ZDZ-50. So I am all excited, I fire my plane up and plan to taxi it around. Just to check and get used to the plane. Twice I run it along the length of the runway, the plane lifts about 1 ft in the air and I settle it down.

Now this third time, I am going a little fast and the plane catches a strong gust of wind...

Before I know it, she is 5 feet up in the air and I am at the end of the runway !!!

Now my only option is to fly the plane, so I take it up and trim the plane out a little bit. I am still on 3D rates with no expo and the Hitec 5945 digitals are FAST

Anyways, I manage to fly about 3 circles and then I bring the plane for a landing...I grease the landing, bring the plane back and started wondering...

What the heck did I just do ?
