RE: E-FLIGHT BLADE CP
Well guy's it happend.
The best fly day I 've ever had. First of all, it was three seperate sessions(batteries). Before today I'd usually crash it somewhere in the second battery. The first two were pretty good. Comprised mostly of short semi-sustained, hops due to a slight breeze. The last session was the best. Between only three seperate hops I hovered for pretty much a whole battery. Unbelievable. For the first two hops, the longer the hover became, the more I shook. I think that and the wind caused the last blade strike that set of blades could take. Then, on the third hop, with a fresh set of blades, while I was in mid hover and I was all tensed up, I thought, "Your doin' it, just relax, you'll still be doin' it". I relaxed and then I got a big grin on my face. Also, I had two guy's from the apt. building that were standing there watching. I was concernicus about them watching but it was still the best hover session I've ever had. Three awesome sessions with not only no bad crackups, but the copter is still flight ready with fresh blades. When you can return your model to the shelf in better shape than before the flight, you've had a good day.
Just a little closer to the $1200 I gonna have to drop on a TREX set-up. :-)
I attribute my success to proper trimming, good blades, a good battery(by "good" I don't just mean fully charged. I mean a good, fully charged battery) and no wind. No wind probably the biggest factor. A little wind causes the BCP to go all screwball. To control it in a wind, you have to be a better pilot than I am. But it's coming.
