Today's flight went great. I flew it in about 5mph winds with some calm spots. I only charged it to about 50% as I wanted to get a quick flight in before dark. I flew for about 3 1/2 minutes and called it a day. My nerves can't handle much more than that or my hands get very shaky. I don't know what it is about flying this thing. I guess it's knowing that if I crash, somebody gotta fork out some cash! (poet?) I uploaded a video of the flight to youtube but it's still processing so when that finishes I'll put it in this thread. I know Tony will be smiling!
I actually flew it twice for a bit. The first flight I panicked a little and sat it down bit too hard. The grass is a little higher that it should be for helis but no worries, I cut a little patch with the tail blades. The second video which is the one you will see, I almost lost control and decided to bring it down.
@Tony I don't know if you will be able to see, but when I lift off the tail is doing its shimmy shake thing and a few seconds after it's in the air, the thing smooths out like butter. I don't know what is causing that.
Come on youtube, you can do it.
