After being away for over 3 months,due to illness,
I fired my Venture up today. I didn't know what to
expect, because one of my blades is bowed,and the last couple of times I flew it, I was having prob-
lems with my carb-adjustment.Mix that with the fact that I haven't flown for over 3 months, and
you can imagine the anxiety. I fired the engine, my heart raced, I started sweating, and then lift
off!! My heli actually flew pretty well. I made a
small ajustment(lean)to the carb, and adjusted the tracking on the blades, and continued to hover
and managed some slow FF & nose-in FF and hovering. I had just graduated from hovering, when I had to walk away from the hobby. It's good to be
back, and it sure was nice to see the bird in the air again. It was almost like watching your kid
walk, for the first time!! Now maybe I can start
back to work on the basics.
I'm still using my training gear, but hope to be
shed of it soon. Any advice, for my first flight
minus the training gear??? I know it will be lighter, but is there anything else I need to know??
