12.7 ! love it funny how both neg and positive never could be the same. I got mine at +12.5 and -12.3 really close and cant get them both to be at 12.5.

an ya! it seem that the skid took all the force of the fall, thank god it was minor.

 

[Westy]

today is a beautiful day .... might go adn kick my cameraman (son!) into the car and force him to roll camera!

Got the + and - exact 12.5 and -12.5 and 0.0 in the middle!

just a bit of end travel adjust to sort it out!

I on ly have one set of batteries now .... so by the time I confirm the tracking... will need to recharge. will see how it goes.

[Westy]

[Tony]

Man up and pinch the sticks!!!

 

[Westy]

........

Video to follow. Nothing Fancy ... was just checking the tracking etc was going to check and adjust the Tail gain to optimum ... but got lost in the awe of the Gobby!

 

[Tony]

How about that, I'm uploading a video too hehe.

 

[Westy]

was loading ... here it is ... oh .. .and batteries only took 4386MAH .... so I can stretch it out as have just gone over half of my 2 x 5000Mah batts. So will add another 1.30 to my time and see where that comes in

Looked great in the air! The gain is a bit high though, you can hear that tail fluttering about quite a bit. I would lower it 5% and call it good.

When you were landing, what the HELL was that that flew across the screen? A Pterodactyl? The damn thing was HUGE!

Awesome video, Westy! Very nice!

 

[Westy]

cheers ..... yap ... happy to have it in th eair

NICE one Westy. Glad to see you have it in the air again. Tony that bird that flew across when Westy was landing was a "sparrow", we breed them BIG in the SH.lmao

 

[Tony]

A sparrow MY ASS lmao

 

[Karubah]

A sparrow MY ASS lmao

Naah , your right it's not a sparrow. I think it was a crow or a magpie by the look of the flight pattern.

 

[Tony]

the only thing here that is that big are hawks and eagles lol.

Looking very good Westy! congrats

Nice. Agree, needs tail gain dialed back a bit. On the turns in fff it was fluttering pretty good. Though I could hear something else. Higher pitched sound. Maybe just drive train noise. Still breaking in I'm sure.
