So I've been keeping separate threads for each heli up to this point. It's getting a bit burdensome to keep track of the threads and flight counts on each and all that. Plus with all the flights separated out by heli it is a bit difficult to tell chronology and track overall progress. Soooooo.... new flight thread to bind them all. 
First, some links to the old threads. I don't anticipate adding into them from this point on. I may in the event of a crash and needing to do a remaiden or some kind of setup thing that is heli specific. But in general all my new flight vids will be going up here.
Old threads: 550X Flights, TRex 700 Flights, Goblin 500 Flights, Goblin 700 Flights, 300X Flights
And now onto new business!
I'll probably end up dropping flight count from these. I've been having to fudge/guess numbers quite a bit anyway so they are practically meaningless outside of a general idea of flight count anyway. I'll move to using date stamps and per day flight numbers when needed.

Working half-piro flips still. I believe they are improving once again. Tail down tictocs are improving. You'll see some I am going to nearly flat upright but only about 45 degree's inverted. I'm doing this on purpose, trying to figure out a problem I've been having with them where the heli will "creep" along a left ail roll progressively. HArd to tell if it is a setup issue or if I'm thumbing in some left ail while snapping front and back elevator. Most likely the later. Trying to keep an eye on it and train it out.
Otherwise some small controlled loops in various directions. Rainbows. etc. I'm still working on the setup for the 700. I like the roll and piro rates now. But I need to work on tail hold on collective hits. It's stepping out after I removed tail pre-comp settings. I'm wanting to see if I can work on I gain settings to keep it in line better without the heavy pre-comp setting I have been using.
550X is pretty locked in.
