Michael,

There will be no "Hangar Queens" in my hangar. Once I am comfortable and all the little bugs are worked out it will be ripping up the sky that's for sure.

Yes the tail kick, Good think I had my extra absorbent Depends installed. Could be 2 things, A hardware/ECS issue, or I hit the yaw control after I retracted the gear. I went through everything on the tail and did not find anything mechanical however I did find room for some improvements. Mainly just making sure everything moves free as possible. On this flight, I did try another grease in the TGB which I was not happy with, so I went back to the tried and true green goop.

I plan to get out again, maybe tomorrow but by the weekend for sure. I Hope to have the third set of flight packs and be able to get in 3 flights.

nyampdude.com batts are working great. That flight was 7 minutes and put 5203 and 5258 ma back into the batts. During all the hover work for the same flight time I was replacing about 6000ma to each battery. Hovering takes a little more power but it all looks good. I will be able to fly this 30lb heli for around 10 minutes which will be more than enough.
