Whoot!! what a blast.

The side yard is still too small for the H2, but it was major fun keeping the thing in slow a low. It don't seem to like slow! Rainy weather has made my grass a little high and I took off and landed in it the belt drive mod still works great.

The moth and the MDF :D Both flew very well and I had a lot of fun. They are both BL seperates (brushed tail) and revo isn't quite perfect on them. Winds were 4mph with 16 mph gusts so holding in the wind was sometimes a no win situation and if left to their own would do slow piros when I gassed them after the wind lay. A couple of weeks ago I'd have been freaking out on the rudder control and not kicking back laughing like a mad man and enjoying the ride.

I have been working on Sloooow piros with the coronas and these things just do it on their own it's great and I'll be playing with revo mix to make them act up on better days when I'm not so close to maxing the throttle. What better more fun way to practise all orientations.

3 different helis flown and no damages. It don't get much better than that!

Steve I don't like the words wind and gusts in the same sentence, you are frightening me :shock:
Also it certainly doesn't get any better than flying your heli's and still having them in one piece at the end, that seem to be something I need to work on just lately :oops:

Well loaded Blade CP! It looks effortless with your brushless motor. What kind of tail motor you have? It is nice to have a big back yard like yours with surounding trees blocking winds.

Nice flight! That's what electrics are all about. No planning just go fly.

planning?? Heck, sometimes I have a few extra minutes before work and run out front to burn thru a pack. I don't think I've ever planned a flight. It's great being able to go out and fly at a moments notice whenever I want. With my nitro rc trucks, planes, and motorcycle it's a production to go somewhere useful and actually get them working right!

The only CNC is the Eflight swash, not really much increase in cyclic performance with it. Other than that I stuck with upgrading the electronics. JR6102 TX and 6ch RX...The tail is fuegao 12mm direct drive, cc phoenix10 and gy240. I tried a cheaper esc and was sorry (hunted badly). Its a stout little chopper and I put 3 to 1 batteries through it compaired to blinged out shoguns because the micro's patterns fit nice in the back yard.

Getting exact (slow ff) in the back yard with my flying makes it easier when the space opens up at the flying field.

I keep a charged battery (TP1320 = 15min flying) in it and the canopy on....waiting for me to have a few minutes. Here in South Carolina the weather is nice, the evenings calm and those trees do help create a nice flying space.

thanks for the cudos guys....happy flying
