How was you flying today???

[Tombo242]

That's good flying there Wobbly, Ive seen people who call themselves professionals do much worse.

Hi ChopperAddict,

Was quite a job, I've replaced mainshaft, feathering shaft, maindrive gear (2 teeth stripped, quite a job to extract the 1-way-bearing and refit into the new gear), 2 servos (1 jammed solid, 1 stripped teeth,I've since managed to make 1 good one out of the 2 but I don't trust it), canopy and 1 "Jesus" bolt need 2, only had 1 so a 2mm split pin was used to set up the head and tracking after swash and washout levelling. The supply of bolts arrives today or tomorrow.

Life's never simple is it?

Here's a quick clip of my first "real-time" attempt at flying inverted.

It was almost as fun as listening to Trent's beauty tips.

Wow, first attempt, outstanding Nick Did you start out with time on the sim before you tried it for real?
I wish my 250 flew like yours

Oh, and keep them tips to yourself

Thanks guys!

Oh ya, I've been playing with the sim (RealFlight G4.5) for a while now. My fear was the real heli wouldn't roll over as easily as it does on the sim, but it felt nearly identical.

As for your beauty tips. Don't worry, you can trust me to keep your secretes...it's the people I tell you can't trust!

Bit cloudy, but I did get this aerial shot.
