SEFSD Session, Saturday 9/12/15

I loaded up and headed out to my official flying field, SEFSD next to Sea World for my 1st session there with the 380.  I arrived about 10:30 am and the helipad was clogged up with quad copters :(. Where have all the helis gone!  I setup my pit and prepped the 380 for flight.  

Quad guy. He's been here every time I've come out since May!

Another quad regular. 

Getting the 380 ready. 

My new motor mount with a bigger heatsink and mini brushless fan!  My motor temps are at a steady 130F now. 

The Goblin 380 ready to fly!

I continued my testing to see if the motor would shutdown, but this time with my fan setup. I flew both batteries for only 4 minutes, then landed and sat on the pad with the motor running, to see if a shutdown would occur. Nothing!  I increased my time to 5 minutes but at a lower headspeed. Nothing!  Cool!

After I felt that she wouldn't drop out of the sky, I started flying around trying out the different agility setting I had in each flight mode. But by this time the wind was picking up and my turns were getting sloppy and the heli was sliding around more and more. So I decided to pack up and head home before something bad happened.
