First flight
Well I finally got around to taking the bird to work and flew it today before I left. I had to trim it a little as this was the first outing, but it went pretty well. Until I was hovering about 3 or 4 feet up and it got a little close to some equipment and I tried to bring it down well I didnt hit any thing but it came down a little fast and went over on its side and broke a blade grip. So I am either going to try the fix listed in another thread first and then I'll probably get some CNC parts ordered here soon. Over all it flew pretty well before the incident, I just have to get used to it some. I was a bit scared at first to fly it but now I want to go up again, I am not in this to be an acrobat just a good flyer. Gotta just keep practicing.
I have not broke any blade grips yet but I do have a spare set just in case.

RE: First flight
nice! I just got my tail rotor fixed so I can fly again! IF you do break one get the one for the blade cp. IT works perfectly and its only 2.99 compared to 7.50. I"ve spent some time on the sim last night and it seemed to help alot!
