I got a practise with my 3Styla today for the freestyle. It goes fien in the wind, still easy to hover, little more difficult to TR though. I'm happy I can still do my 'best bits' in a wind and downwind.

What day you going to the freestyle ed? i'm thinkin of goin Saturday night. 4 1/2 hour drive for me c

my cougar was a dog in the updrafts/downdrafts
-aha, so your part of the country had that too, i thought it was just cornwall, at about 8 am there was a thunder storm and after that the weather was screwed up all day, it was horrible, one second your model was balloning up and the next it was getting sucked towards the ground tail first!
at one point our windsock was pointing straight UP in the lift.
i bet the glider guiders were in their element!


looks nice dean, is there much coupling in k/e,i quite fancy one myself

my cougar was terrible. i hardly fly above 50 feet, unless im doing a climb and glide, but mot the time im only 10 feet up so i was a bit annoyed when i pulled to hover and an updraft caught a wing and flipped it inverted :eek: luckly i wasnt to low cos it was really on the limet to prophang, even at 45*.

My cougars 1.5kg (weston say its 1.6kg) so that dont help when a sudden gust comes when im going crosswing touch n goes, i had to jump out the way a few times cos the plane suddenly banked towards me, i fly too close, gotta stop that, it'll get me one day :p

Ed: although not quite so much with the 3styla, I used to fly my freestyle extremely fast! I think thats's where the name came from.

My 3styla on Saturday (prior to severe engine problems :s)

Woohoo I had a really good practise tonight :d

I've decided not to follow a routine now. It is after all, freestyle!

The 3styla does knife edge well. Knife edge loops are great. They do need coupling, but I prefer to do it manually. The inverted harrier is awesome... nearly as good as the 2m funtana! Good fun in a wind!

Managed to inverted auto rotate me heli tonight aswell... smashed the cockpit part of the canopy lol... quite a hard smack aswell!

cool nathan ive done a inverted auto with my raptor before and i got away with about £10worth of damage which i thought was good..I come down nice lol...what sort of damage to the heli?

just sorted my 3styla put another 8 chanel reciever and sorted my elevators out so watch out for more low harriers inverted now lol...

i just love the 3styla...Just tried to email inwood but im not getting any reply of them regardcing buying a small funtana i realy want wanna of these planes they are lovely to fly..i flew one on sunday and this guy had lods of expo so i was'nt on it much as i dont like much exspo

Im either back Wed. or Fri. GCSEs!!!! AGHHHH!!!!

i think at some points i was a foot away from my cougar today :p a tad scary but......yeh

when i used to prophang close in it used to be around 50*. today i was up at around 85*to 90*, i did loads of tail taps and i found the wind to be very helpfull rather than a neusence! pushed it back, got closer to me, i will pick it out of the air next time, i WILL!!!

lol last time I tried that with me limbo dancer i was just rechin out to grabn it when it ran out of fuel and snapped all the tail off lol.

Done it with the hype loads of times, especially when i used to leave the u/c off. Now that ive done it a few times the buzz has gone. i'd rather not take the risk of doing it now. Lol the hype was a bugger to catch cuz the fuz is quite long.... when the bit you're trying to grab is around shoulder height the tail is almost on the floor.

I still get others to catch planes though, thats good fun. I remember watchin paul heckles, he took his wot 4 up high, cut the engine and flew the plane towards him just over head height then caught it by the spinner! Jammy b@$%^d
