From no Heli to hover/forward flight in 12 flights LOGO 10
I have never flown Helis at all; never felt like they have something to offer.
Only airplanes from 5oz. Foamy to 17lbs. Piper Cub and 150mph hollow molded Sunracer (pylon racer) since I was 10 years old. I got sort of tired of flying, burned out. But this Heli Stuff is really very fun, finally new challenge. My LOGO is incredibly stable machine, with TP4000 8S2P I get 16 minutes of flying. Always 2 flights per charge. I have so far 12 flights and one light crash, fortunately only broken frame and bent main shaft. Silly me after 10 minutes of hovering I wanted to hover nose in, OK not recommended. I have noticed one thing; fly max 10 minutes but every single day. With Heli it’s so easy, small piece of grass and you got your private heaven. Flight 1-3 Hovering for 10 minutes, moving carefully from right to left and back/forward. Flight 4-6 Very slow number eights 3-4 feet above the ground, first 360 circle. Flight 7 Finally got Heli higher than 10’, very scary. First climb out with 360 turn, even more scary. Flight 8-12 Big figure eights, gradually getting higher and higher. Huge 360 circles, power pirouettes. Slowly building confidence My set up: Logo 10 Carbon w/3D canopy Futaba S9254 Hitec Fusion 9 TP4000 8S2P Neu 1910/1.5Y Phoenix 45HV Futaba GY401 20T/200T UBEC 555mm CF MAH |

Nice report, nice heli.
You are progressing a lot faster than I have, but I am a slow learner .A great and non destructive addiction (except maybe to the checkbook). Lyle |
