This is actually the third FFF with the very first battery used for FFF!
In some ways it shows a little more.
Hah! I'm still shaking!

Hey Kent,
I have heard of people making a helmet cam or hat cam too.
I guess you have to have a small camera though.

Thanks BT. It wasn't really that windy. Maybe 10mph or maybe a little more. That would have rendered an HB unflyable, though, but not so with a 450, once you've flown an HB in 1-2mph winds!!
I don't naturally have B's of Brass or any other hard substance. But, sometimes you have to just try to emulate those who do and try to get some!
I was all excited to go out again tonight, but not today. It's just too windy.
Instead, I rebuilt my HB, which was a total mess, with a new ARF. That was fun! It looks brand new again, but flies the same.
I however found something out about these from the rebuild to really help the amount of control that you have with these!
I'll post that to the beginners forum. Elsewhere if anyone likes.
Take care,
Kent

Hey Kent, Best I could tell, looks like you did a little nose in there. Sweeeeet! Yep, at 200mph back towards me! That was really spooky! It was actually really easy to keep under control, but amazingly, even at 200mph, it's really just like the simulator, so not that hard to do!!! The only difference is that you are flying something for REAL!! BTW, the Trex XL in Clearview is very close to this heli. VERY close. The other Trex's are not. The Hotrod Trex one on Clearview is close to the T-450, though. Way too hot for me right now. I would guess that your 450SE would be very similar to the Trex XL as well. I haven't flown my SE in FFF yet, waiting for replacement stolen parts, but it should be close. Take care, Kent |
