Well, flew today.
My SkyFly can now do loops. Still hard to do and they're not perfect loops, but they're loops nonetheless.
Threading the control wires thru the closer holes helps, but then the rubber bands don't have enough power to return the surface back to neutral... so it makes handling a little more complex.
Regardless, I was able to fly some nice circuits, slow fly-bys, pulled some hammerheards, and had lots of fun. Near the end of the second battery, I tried something dumb and ended up lawndarting into the ground nose first from like 10ft. Good thing it wasn't higher, but it was high enough that it broke the wing rubber bands and put a nice dent on the wing.
Any chance of getting those pics up, jm?
