The weather and life have been bad for the last several months so I have not been able to get out and fly. I was out to day and my thumbs were so rusty all I could do is some hovering practice. Is there a soulution out there I can apply to my thumbs to loosen them up. My brain was telling them what to do but they just did not respond.

Realflight g-2 ointment usually works for my thumbs.

With my new JR 8103 which I am having no problems with at all, I really can' t get the overall heli set up properly. I've never had as much problems with the 'real-ones' .

Is there anywhere way I can see a guide for the setting up G2 with the JR 8103? Or can anyone tell me their gyro values and pitch values?

I'm hoping to use my 'own radio' and all the pitch/throttle curves are fine, it's just that when full throttle/collective is given, pitch is full, but the throttle seems to go back down to the quarter stick level. It's not sagging as I have even tried reducing the pitch to 8 degrees at the top and had no luck.

Heading hold isn't holding, and the engine revs down, that makes it pretty impossible to fly. Although when it kinda loads up at full throttle it does very nice pirouetting flips! Hands Off!!!! It crashes afterwards, but it still looks good.

Thank you very much

PS: You will quickly overcome all your rusty-spots. I was once out of flying for almost a year but I think the general controls and thoughts are imprinted in to your mind pretty much like riding a bike.

If you're flying with a good machine you'll be back up and away in no time, it's just when you fly really awkward machines that aren't easy to fly then it may be like starting over.

Well the rust came off in the wrong way. I now need to figure out if I should rebuild my Raptor V1, get a V2 or a Caliber.

I am down to a few parts for my V1 so I can most of it back together without ordering any thing.

I still have my Nexus flying.
