Ok, I've slowly been working up the courage to get my lil' guy above 5 to 6 feet off the ground. I've been keeping it around eye level which is about 6 ft for the last week. I get real nervous and bring it back down whenever I find myself looking up at it. Today you'd be proud of me. I took the lil guy up to about 15 to 20 feet. I was still nervous as heck and the sweat was dripping off my hands, but I kept it up there for the majority of 2 lipo packs (a little over 17 minutes). I'll keep working on it this week. I'm still getting 4 to 5 lipo packs a day. By next week I'd like to start working on forward flight and maybe a few banked turns. I don't want to get greedy.

My RC Tek 450 should arrive on Wed. It'll be a week or two before I'm ready to order up the TX/RX, servos and everything else.
