Man you guys! Most of page 28 of this post is all about crashes, crashing, crashed! W.-T.-F.?!?

As a group, heads up! Cool down, take a step back, re-evaluate the risks of your next move, take a deep breath, double check your mechanicals, double check your electronics. Whew...


Be mellow, be safe, be in control, take the next step as a gradual baby-step. No need to crash today. Maybe later, but not today.


Now for my hover report!


Flawless! The end.


Well, a couple details for the record:

The final tiny 'wag' has been dialed out of my Axe CP tail system. A slight decrease on the Gy240 Gain Pot did the trick. Headling lock seems to be maintained, but its possible there is an incredibly slight left drift. I put in a single click of Right Rudder trim in the DX6 and that seems to compensate. Very slight fine tuning here.

I was hovering in the big conference room at work, and occasionally have to fight off air currents the main rotor has set up or the occasional blast from the big room's AC. A couple mild escape manuevers kept me from hitting a wall. Did tons of feather-touch landings and smooth lift-offs. NO TRAINING GEAR NEEDED anymore for indoor flying! I have graduated!!!

She's definitely ready again for the next long-awaited opportunity at outdoor 2d pattern flying. Need some dead calm weather. Had some this morning, as was tempted, but I was not 'in the zone' and it was a bit wet outside, slight drizzle even.


Now let's here more successful flight reports and less "I crashed, parts on order" reports!!
