[3dee]

It all started my wife wanted to go to see family back in Crewe Cheshire over xmas. last year. I had being flying a raptor for about two months and my mate, that started the to learn to fly his raptor had being learning two weeks longer than me, had done his first loop and roll two days before this. I had gone to my local model shop and got the guy to set up my raptor for 3d and set off to spend the holiday with my inlaws. soon as we got there i was off to the play grounds in the middle of the town where i knew that there was a small flying club active. i had a fly but did not try any 3d but enjoyed the large amount of pitch i now had. boxing day came and i was out there on the field and this time i was going for it. with heart beating like mad and fingers shaking i went for my first loop, yes did it, not that hard i thought and did a few more. now for the roll, over she went took up a lot of sky to get it back upright but i had done it, by now i was shaking so bad that i had got to land to carm my self down. while on the ground three lads came up and started asking questions about it and one said," does it do loops, well loops i could do so with out says any more reved up and was in a high hover, dropped the pitch and the nose pulled it over and got a great loop. " what about a roll" the lad said, so i did, and my raptor went over to the inverted but then i noticed the revs had gone down as well and she was dropping out of the sky very fast. I was still in normal mode inverted on tickover. the rest of the story was too painful to write down. £175 of pain in bits to put it back to gether, now i never fly around in normal mode so i have got the neg. pitch and throttle to do that roll that she did not come out of at crewe. The lads did not even help me to pick up the bits.
