Flying again!

I've been practicing my nose in figure 8's in the sim a lot the past week. I need to get out to Hoyt and do it for real!

I also checked out the FPV club race at SEFSD Saturday morning. There were a lot more people at the heli pad than I expected!  Maybe I'll get an FPV quad to try out. 

Heli pad full of cars!

Race course

Crowded pit area. I may need to bring my own table?

New flight area sign posted at the heli pad. 

Flying? What's that?

I haven't flown in so long, that I noticed dust collecting on my bag for the 380!

250 repair under way!

I finally got around to taking apart my Trex 250 for repair. So far I've found a bent main shaft, broken spindle bolt, broken blade tip, and broken ball cup. Not too bad considering. Time to order some parts!

Goblin 380 ready!

I finished the 380 head and tail setup Monday night, 11/9/15!  I'm getting faster at using my Soko Gauge and app also :)

I plan to do some test flights Sunday afternoon at Hoyt park. 

Goblin 380 repair completed!

I managed to finish the repair of my Goblin 380, which I crashed about about 3 months ago.  Next up is completing the head and tail setup and I'll be ready to starting tuning the Vbar Neo all over again.  Lol!

Dang it!

I crashed my 250 on my 2nd session with my new Zeal 210mm blades :(. While doing a nose in turn I lost orientation and crashed.  This has been happening a lot lately :(. I really need more practice and need to try and save it instead of giving up and flipping the hold switch. 

This happened at SEFSD on Sunday 10/25/15. And for a change there were more helis than quads this time!  Woohoo!  

Ming's friend Richard's helis. 

Hoyt Park, Tuesday 10/20/15

I wanted to try and flip my mCpx, but it bogged so much it dropped like a rock, and I crashed, breaking a ball link on the swash plate.  Once I get that replaced, I'll try again, but higher up!  LOL!

The 250 was flying well enough that I tried doing some flips with it. I need to put in more negative pitch and the tail wagged some during the flip. I turned down the tail gain and it's been getting better. 

I'm heading back out to Hoyt again after work to test the 250 and 450.
