Had an RDO today so I took the #36 down for its first real open area hover. Previously I have just been trying to hover in our smallish back yard, I now know thats nothing like being out in the open.
Took these while the heli was sitting idle so the gyro could get used to the temp/humidity:
and these after a little incident [
] :
Blade hit the ground when it started to get away on me and I brought it down on a funny angle. Oops.
