Well back in the saddle today after my 550e crash:)

Trusty Trex 450 ProV2 2 batteries so far 12 minutes of hovering and landing, sweaty palms and dry mouth.(and shaking but that might be old age:))

6th battery and the tail started hunting, so shut down early to investigate:) all in all 6 good flights, plenty of wind to keep me alert and great practise in a confined space(my back garden) Good precision hovering and landing:) Off to the charger:)
