I am all excited, started really flying some fast forward, full throttle, looking like its going to hit the ground ! pulling back hard, piro 2 times, and full throttle back the other way[8D] It was great!

now the real question, did you do it on purpose haha

Yes, yes I did...LOL Good question though..LMAO

I just ran 3 packs thru her, doing highspeed banking figure 8's. Everything is slowly clicking on in my mind I didnt realize you could put this thing literally on its side and pull it thru a turn. Looks awsome.

lol only asked as i was practising hovering yesterday, lost it, did some ff and kept it in control, flaired to hard and went tail first into ground hehe

these crash surprisingly well! not much broken!

dont feel bad, a couple of weeks ago, I buried it tail first at had to be 35-40mph. I wish I would have taken pics, it was literally "lawn darted" into the yard, tail first. It went in at such the perfect angle, I broke everything BUT the tail boom. I was shocked. The kids loved pickin up the parts though...LMAO

hehe im running a carbon fibre tail boom atm. am insterested to see how it holds up compared to an alu one

I did the same thing yesterday. I decided to try to fly in the back yard which is fenced in and doesnt have a lot of room. I had some spectators so I was trying to show off. I would punch the throttle and do about 5 piros and then pull out and lower the throttle. It almost got away from me and I had to do some man-handling but I pulled it out. I should have stopped at that. then I would give it a good bit of fore cyclic. These things can really move fast. right before it would get to the fence, I would put the brakes on. These things are just too fun. Then I tried to punch the throttle and did about 5 piros but when I stopped the nose was facing me and I couldnt get the tail around fast enough. she went into the yard. Bent the feathering shaft and I am sure that it bent the main shaft. That was all the damage except it tore the Tail servo mount. I have a new tailboom to put on since I just straightened it after the last wreck, I also have spare servo mounts and main shafts. I had to order some feathering shafts last night though since I did not have those. I LOVE MY TREX though!!!

C5

me too, im hooked. bought it because where i live (small island) it is all restricted airspace so i can only fly my bigger bird at the flying field, the other end of the island. about a 15 mile trip as it is very bendy roads the whole way which wont seem long for you americans, but for me it is!!! (island is 9 miles by 5). i can now in theory, ie when im not waiting for parts , fly every day. its already helped my flying

Oh man, I want to come visit you ross_jsy! That sounds like my kind of place

its so beautifull here, islands called jersey if you ever want to visit hehe! amazing roads for driving and riding too

I suppose I would need more than driving directions to get there...LOL

arghahha well its situated off the coast of france, about 9 miles away from st malo, take a left at the big cloud and its the first right, cant miss it. oh our run way cant take anything bigger that a small passanger aircraft, so come in one of your lier jets

Now, this kinda gets funnier....I am checked out in a lear jet.....well, a few years ago I was anyways. The little cessna 150, or the piper tromahawk would have a tough time flyin there without upteen zillion refuel stops....

keep tempting me though, and I may have a new vaction destination.......you can put me up for a few days and fly helis right?...LOLOL
