Someone explain this.
My heli is pretty much stock. It's got the Stersman Boomtown skids and boom and lots of ventilation, but none of that explains this flight.
I had the heli sitting on my right hand, TX in my left hand. I throttle up until it weighed nothing and pulled back my hand. I'm flying outside and it's just hanging. A quick rotation toward the street and I see the neighbors jeep. Ohhh, another recon mission.
I'm flying the stock flybar tonight with the brass weights and rubber boots and all. We all know that the heli won't go more than 15 feet without stopping and going pendulum. Tonight my heli went nearly 200 feet at fast forward using the throttle to maintain altitude of about 20 feet. At the jeep, I turned and dropped for a look. Satisfied, I flew it down the street at full forward and 3/4 throttle, banked left to make a rudder turn toward the house (still at full forward). At the house I brought the forward stick back to neutral, spun it around backwards and backed under the eves onto the porch. Hmmm, I haven't broken it yet. Still at hover I maxed both the left and right sticks simultaneously and it shot 150 feet across the street and over the river, then with a right rudder turn it returned.

OK, so what happened? These things won't do that. They won't go distance without the pendulum stop. They won't fast forward. I'm even using the heavy stock flybar. Tonight it's all good. If I knew what makes this work so well, I could start a clinic. There is no magic in my heli. There is no alloy except the flybar hub. The heading holds through the battery like it had a hh gyro. I really think its all in the setup.

Your thoughts?
