RE: My first Trex Loop...pic
And it was going so well...until it all went to HEELLL...lol.
I think I'll just become an ALIGN DEALER...and make money on oll my crashes...lol.
To be fair, I was flying in really windy weather. I like flying in the gusty wind it is really challenging and I have gotten pretty good a FF and FFF. I can buzz through three battery packs with very few "tense" moments
I was showing off for the wife, I flew into the wind at almost full pitch...man the little thing is quick...I pulled up hard and the heli climbed like a champ. She went over the top beautifully. Here where I mess up. When she reached the 9 o'clock position I didn't feed in enough collective with the cyclic to get her to climb on the back side of the loop. I just held the cyclic back. If I would have had ten more feet of altitude I think I would have made it.....Pilot error..DOH!!!
I'm just glad the ground was so soft from all the snow and rain. She went in skid tips first. The prettiest thing I have ever planted...sic.
Cursory inspection reveals $$$$.
The cool thing is the Aluminum frame is completely straight. I just need every other part.....[X(]
