DOAH!!!!
Got to the field. Hmm, still soggy. Oh well other people are flying might as well give it a whirl.
Start it up. Gawd I love the sound of a four stroke at idle.
Warm it up. Check everything one last time.
Unhook the tail from the safety rope and start to taxi.
Gun it a little and NOSE OVER
Broke the prop. Didn't have another that would fit in the spinner.
So freekin rookie.
Anyway the mud collected on the wheels and then filled the wheel pants. As soon as that happened it nosed over.
Hind site, none of the people flying had enclosed wheels.
Bummer, bummer, bummer.
Decided to not worry 'bout it and pulled out the heli and flew a couple of circuits and then decided I could not see it well enough. It had been overcast all day. I got the x-spec down in one piece and called it a day.
As soon as I had my truck packed up the rain started again.
I am never going to get this thing off the ground!
