I want to get a new "training" heli! The Logo 200 is coming out soon and uses 173 mm blades. It's size is bigger than my 130x and smaller than my Trex 250 (uses 210 mm blades). The best part is the gyro is a Vbar mini Neo! So it will fly awesome, handle like a big heli, and I can fly it on my Vcontrol radio!
So I can fly my 650, 550, 380, and 200 on my best radio :)
I haven't flown since mid-May. That's when the construction started at the Hoyt north field. The south field is not as easy to fly from due to the tree line in the background. The trees makes it harder to see the heli or plane when flying below the treetops.
The very last time I flew I crashed my 230 due to a gyro calibration issue. I should have re-booted the gyro, but I was being lazy. On a pass in front of myself the heli banked and dove at the ground so fast all I could do was hit the hold switch as it hit the ground. The damage isn't too bad. Looks like a stripped main gear, broken tail prop, lost dfc link. The blade grips were intact! But, I haven't felt like fixing it since then.

Construction started on the Hoyt Park north field back in May 2020! This was the best field to fly from on Sunday mornings! It was also the most open, with no tree line on the far side. I should probably renew my membership at the Sea World field, as it may become the only place I can fly? I would join Palomar, but the membership is so expensive! I would need to fly there every weekend to justify the cost.
