hmm... i seem to have my share of bad lucks lately... basically flight=crash. i test flew it today after school with the grips flipped, brought it out, it was very windy, but i decided to go for it. hovered a bit, and rolled it over, immediately i heard clicking sounds, climbed, roll back, and the tail was spinning (not the ones taht's out of control)(moderately). so i was able to control it while the wind's blowing it down the field, then it became so small that i just decided to hit throttle hold at about 1 foot. i dunno why, but maybe because the bl motor is soooo much free'er, it kinda auto'ed to the ground without damage. a later diagnose was a popped link. further inspection of the head showed that because i also did the cyclic mod (connecting teh short side of the mixer to the swash), i was getting bindings at extreme collective from the balls and links. just hovering yeild good results, however, i changed it back to the stock formation with my cyclic mod.

well, i charged the batt up again and went for another flight. the wind died down abit. so i went out. a roll to inverted showed that i need to increase the gain on the stock gyro just abit more as i was getting abit of wagging inverted with the wind. all was going well until i went inverted and did a backflip to upright, i had this move under my belt. but because i didn't fly for so long, i gave myself abit of altitude. all was well... until my cyclic thumb slid off the stick for no apparant reason at all. i quickly got back to the stick and managed to save the heli, however, as i calmed it down abit, i want to climb back up to a save altitude... and i gave it neg pitch, down it goes... need a new center hub and paddle control frame.

well, i didn't like the 'flip the blade grips' mod mainly because i did the cyclic mod, i did noticed a very little more smoothness in collective, but was not working well with my setup so i changed it back to stock seeing no original problem. i really liked the gyro mod because i can now dail my telebee/zoom hh gyro up to 100% without wag. and the tail holds exceptionally well without the use of revo, i used to use revo even with a hh gyro due to kicking still with full collective. but now i don't.

i got the parts, rebuilding it, hope my next flight goes better. =]
