Attaboy Elk. You've come a long way in the last couple of months. At times it was hard to tell the heli from those damm big bugs you got out there.  |

Pretty cool Elk.
You are progressing fast.
Can I suggest turning the HC way down or even off in 3D.
It makes your stunts look a bit choppy.Notice how it tried to snap level inverted in the middle of a flip?
The FFF is awesome.Really got me pumped now.
Great job!!!
Keep it on video ;D

Yea Ernie, as soon as the 'pucker-factor' decreases a little I'll try turning it off. If you noticed, when I flip or hold inverted, I'm losing the tail a little. My gyro holds fine, it's just me losing the tail on the stick,,I'm glad she didn't video me during the flight,,,I use a LOT of 'body-english' and make some crazy faces while flying. I take off with the HC off,,,you can see when the heli gets about 10 feet up it jerks a little when I turn it on. I usually fly a couple minutes with it off before I start doing anything fast.
I've had him going about twice as fast as what you saw,,,and that wasn't even close to what it could do.
My heart starts pumping when I drive up to the launch-site, by the time I get him airbourne the adrenaline is really going,,,by the time I land my knees are banging together. Then I'm high for over an hours. ;D I have two batteries but I haven't tried back-to-back flights yet,,,no way,,,I have to wait a couple hours.
I've been lucky,,the weather has been great,,,I've flown Moat-Gator every day for the last 9 days, a couple times I flew 4 times in the same day. You would think I'd start losing the gitters by now,,,,,nope,,,,I'm a junkie!!!! ;D

I noticed the tail jerks. I wondered if it was the gyro or nerves. You go through about a month's worth of adrenalin during those first 3D flights. Two batteries and they'd have to haul me off on a stretcher. ;D
Happy landings

I thought maybe you were over thumbing the rudder a little.lol...
It gets easier.You don't need to yank back to negative.Alot of times I don't even get negative.Closer to nuetral.I pull some negative if I plan to stay inverted a while of course.lol...
Otherwise,that is some really good flying.Your winter simming really paid off huh.

I just got to get over the jitters,,,,twice now I've went inverted in normal flight mode. Luckily I haven't froze and quickly re-grouped. My adrenaline gland has to be worn out by now,,,,holy carp!,,,do I get a rush with this thing. Once I can calm down,,I can work on finnese. I've flown about 20 flights in the past 10 days,,,I need to calm down,,,but I hope I don't,,,,,what a rush!! ;D

Just my preference  |
