Vic,
Getting boring Roll her inverted and make those passes three feet off of the ground!


LMAO....let me get more used to it first. The ONLY hold back is the field I'm flying in is a little restricted. With the wind at nearly zero yesterday, it was nice to do low fly-by's. When I was brand new to planks, my instructor had a mid wing racing plane he come across the runway full throttle in a knife edge full power at 3ft above the concrete. He didn't hit anything...the plane exploded in front of our eyes. He said the plane was old, he was expecting that to happen one of these days....LMAO.

I got my EXI put back together last night, I'm real happy about that. Seems like I'm going through main rotor blades pretty good this summer.....like 6 major crashes 1 new airframe. I bought 5 sets of blades this spring, they've been gone, order two more, and I got the last set on there now. Need to order some Align skid struts and some blades for sure and with my luck, a couple extra tail booms and other stuff. I remember my first year in planks....I crashed alot. I'm flying pretty decient (first year of real flying) and I push it, so I'm crashing a lot....no biggie.
