I planned to fly at SEFSD at least once a month to make the membership fee I paid for AMA, FAA, and SEFSD worthwhile for the year and I'm already 2 session ahead!
I brought out the Goblin 650 and 380, and the Convergenge to fly for the day. I was able to fly both Goblins well! I practiced stall turns, loop, and nose-in inverted hovering! I also tried a tail slide with the 380, but when I came out going backwards pretty fast, the tail started wagging hard! I spun around and did a turn to slow down and let the tail settle down. I turned down the gain 5 points in all flight banks, with the highest gain in the bank with the slowest head-speed.
The 650 felt great flying! So well that I hovered nose-in inverted a lot! I even executed some rescues from inverted to practice hitting the switch and recovering. I enjoyed flying it so much I picked up another set of batteries for it!
I then fly the Convergence in the early afternoon. It was ok to fly. I need to try flying with SAFE mode off! LOL! It took me awhile to figure out the best time to transition to heli mode for landing. The first few times I did it too far away and I struggled getting back to the runway to land! I figured out I need to transition almost right in front of myself while flying into the wind. Then I would be able to land smoothly.
