First Tail Touch !!
I DID IT !!!!! I have made my first ever tail touch !!!. About two weeks ago the Alaska weather was warm to about 35 degrees and ZERO wind I had to go out. After about five flights of working the rust out the hovers were getting solid. I slowly slid down and dipped the tail into the snow and went back into a hover. Setup was a TopCap ARF with an MVVS .49. Felt so good I was on an emotional high for about three days. Can't wait for summer!

I can hover down and tail touch and even land from a hover but I prefer not to. Thats where damage occurs. I hover a few inches from the ground and I'm practicing now on driving all around wherever I want to go while in a hover.

Well the nice thing about this tail touch was that there was about a foot of soft powder snow. I guess technically I didn't touch I just dipped the tail into the snow.
