DAMN THE WIND!!!!
So I go outside yesterday and its pretty breezy. Spool up and then the wind kicks up and guess what the heli did? Shot up off the ground like somebody kicked it!!! WHOAZ!! Had I known a headwind would have done this I would have just stayed indoors!! But hey. it makes for really interesting ( read: scary ) flying. Seems like flying into wind creates more lift for less headspeed. HOWEVER the Heli becomes jumpier than a cat in a dog pound!! The only time the heli was truly stable was while in ground effect...... go figure hahahha!!

At any rate, I installed a set of OE main blades and Im alot more confident in my flying so I know I wont trash these. I have yet to seriously sit down with a SIM (even though I have FMS) and get any decent stick time. Markind has inspired me with his crazy flight stories to just go out and fly.
