take 2!!!

I flew yesterday!!! I put 3 battery packs through the BCP. The first 2 were hit and miss success, but the third resulted in a couple good hovers. When the third pack went dead I really wished I had 3 more ready to go.

I went back to a plastic head until I get things sorted with Helidirect. They are going to trade me the new style head for an older type!!!


YAY! for hovering!!!

Hot dang!!!

Now comes the hard part.... resisting the urge to take too big a step. Burn plenty juice working on the hover.

Re: take 2!!!

What about Bob?

Baby steps..... baby steps!!!

ha ha your right!

It was a good hover but I feel like I was correcting the whole time... reacting to what the aircraft was doing. I dont think I will be doing much more then hovering until I feel like I am telling it what to do. One thing about that plastic head is even at spool up you can see it moving about some, there is a lot of play there. Once airborne that thing is always on the move, it dosnt like sitting still.

Good things come to those who wait, and nice guys finish last but best!!!
