Got brave today and tried some side in. there was a few people and a curious girl around. I was a little nervous but it went better than expected. The camera settings are messed up and it needs to be higher. You can see it most of the time. I can fly like crazy on the sim but the nerves kick in when the real bird is on the other end. At least I didn't crash.

Be careful flying with people around... I had two kids flailing light sabers come into my
zone a couple of weeks ago. And an adult shortly afterwards. As a newbie I find it
better to set the heli down and be safe and get the people out of the area than be distracted and crash,
or take a chance with an accident.
Even when I am the only person around... with the good weather on the weekends, people seem to
come out of the woodwork when you least expect it.
Good flying have fun.

Great Job. but be careful. that little bird if it gets away from ya can cover alot of ground quick.
I compleatly relate to the SIM thing. LOL I can do an awful lot on the SIM. But in real life I'm a lot more careful because crashing costs cash LOL
Keep up the good work & have fun

Nice job bro...
I am the same way... I do fine on the sim, then the nerves kick in. I was flying my trex 500 the other day for the first time... I brought the power up, got it light on the skids, then the thought of how much cash I have tied into this bird and it was like woooaa. Still love it though
