Well after the try's that I done Friday, I got a break in the weather tonight, its still breezy but not to the point I can't fly, so that's what I did,
Got out first battery, was a trial with 30% expo and removed my d/r which I had set last time at 80%, found I had more direct feel and control but not to the point it was uncontrollable, done some random flying to get my feet in with the new settings, had a few moments as the bird now moves quick with stick inputs but have to be honest got my bail out starting to be there instinctively so no real scares.
Battery two, dropped the expo down to 23% as I want to get more response for manoeuvres and boy now the bird starts to become twitchy, spent most of my air time getting used to the feel now,
but by the end was doing OK so up comes that little Tony on the shoulder saying in my ear flip it, flip it,
so got some altitude and pulled back on the stick but not quite in time with the zero pitch so lost a bit of height, full power when right way up and had about 2ft left from the deck, oops heart pounding now......
Second try took it up to about 30 - 40ft and done it again, got the pitch right that time and it was seamless lost about five feet altogether, but still made the heart pound,
Sorry not on film as took the phone the hat mount but guess what I forgot, yep the hat, what a dummy!!!!!!!!!
Next time I WILL have video evidence.
But now I need to drain the adrenaline I have left, lol
