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)

Yeah I know the sweaty palms syndrome Graham, getting used to it now though

3rd battery and another 6 minutes. Noticing blade tracking is off heli flying very slightly tilted to the right fail in

4th Battery getting windier still not mentally calm but confidence growing more tea and onto battery 5

- - - Updated - - -

5th battery was poor lasted 3minutes heli performance poor for the duration 6th and final battery

- - - Updated - - -

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

 

[Slobberdog]

You da man, practice practice and more practice, keep it up buddy, have fun, fly safe,

Cheers Kev another 6 with no incidents have done a quick video to show the hunting and some bad hovering will post it when I get it uploaded

550 is good to go no blades for it yet
