I decided to head out to the field to try out my DX8! I wanted to also finish breaking in my new battery that I picked up in July and use my DFC canopy. It took about 3 flights and adjusting the expo in the radio for the cyclic before I felt comfortable.
There were also some improvements to the helipad since the last time I was out here in July.
Poles marking the end of the parking lot.
New helipad sign.
Line of stones in the main flying area. Do they mark the border of the heli area?
My pit table. I was the only one there as I went in the afternoon when it's normally windy. The mornings are usually busy since the wind is calmer.
My 550 with its "long" DFC canopy which reaches behind the boom block. I think it makes the heli look sleeker with the DFC style head. It's also bigger in the air making the it easier to see.
