just got back from my first absolutely perfect flight in a while, so i figured i'd share my sunshine story with you guys.

i finally settled on what i found to be the best tail setup (after a couple long months of testing), i flew it for a month without realizing that the thrust bearing in my eflight aluminum swashplate was very loose and slipping 1/8" up and down in it's hole. that was the cause of numerous incidents in the past month, but i just figured it out and fixed it the other day.

now my cpp is performing absolutely perfectly. i assumed my collective would be more precise with the bearing fixed, but my cyclic also became utterly predictable and easy to feel. it almost felt like i was flying the "threedee" model from the fms simulator. if you have played with fms, you know the threedee flies way too perfectly. well folks, all i can say is i'm stoked that my $'s invested have actually accomplished making my cpp feel locked-in during any maneuver i throw at it. i never would've thought i'd get that feeling of complete confidence in flight without having a trex.

cheers for high headspeeds and expensive electronics!!!
