I flew electrics yesterday (Dragonus, EP-8).... flew slimers today (Gohbee Stinger 90, Rappy 50). Very windy both days but all came out well and fun was to be had.

Cheers

I flew my TREX-450S today. Went through two packs. Flew around my driveway practicing side hovers and nose in hovering. I was going to try to land on the top of my laundry basket but decided against it as there a some gusts coming in and could have broke a rotor or something.

Back to basics. I practiced nose-in hovering with tail in 10-11 o'clock position. That seems to be my blackhole. I also worked on my forward ovals. I spent so much time with backwards flight that I forgot there was unfinished business with forward flight.

I got a quickie in before work this morning ! 10 minutes with the Great Planes SE5A on the way to work. Wind picked up and had to pack up though.! In fact I have flown everyday over the last 7.
This hobby is taking over my life !

The ESC on my brushless powered Blade CP Pro seems to have died, so it was inside flying today with the Walkera #4.

I did my first stall turn today!

And my first loop. And loop that didn't go exactly as I planned (a flip?) LOL...

I was flying it so fast and far and aggressive... I couldn't believe myself!

ESC is back in action on the Blade CP Pro. Flew two batteries early in a mild breeze. Like Clicky I surprised myself by flying fast and banking the h*ll out of my eight turns. No loops, though. Some nose-in hovering and counter-clockwise circles.

Flew my Stinger & Freya 90's today. The Freya was acting up and I found the oneway bearing had a big crack down the side. Lost its ability to grab the mainshaft. So it'll be out of action till I get another. I was tweaking the Gohbee Stinger, it was flying pretty solid... still needs a little engine tweak. Flew no electrics today.

I'm going to try to fly tomorrow morning.

Cheers
Rich

First nice day to fly in a couple of weeks. Flew 5 helis this beautiful Sunday morning. Did my first auto with a 90 if I wanted to or not. Brought it down gently at my feet! I guess all the practice on RF3 paid off. Burned out glow plug.

BTW.. went to a local RC Jet get together yesterday... man... those things are just plain super cool and $$$$$$$$

Here's a few pics from that event.
