Blade 300CFX Flight log 6/100 - Failures 1/100



So today was a day when I decided to increase my flight time per session. I've started using two battery packs which meant that I know have to change over and also do some tweaking/learning on the transmitter to have a more comfortable flight.

Even though It was quite windy (which is pretty normal now), I find myself being quite nervous still, Although It will go away with time. It could also be that I know how powerful this heli is and that I'm really wary about doing too much too quickly.

To my credit, the heli got away from to about 50m and 15m in height and almost freaked out. Luckily I didn't panic and slowly brought the heli back in eventhough I was really struggling to make out its orientation. I was tempted to run closer but I must say I froze a little bit. I realize the amount of wind pushed it away and I wasn't actively controlling the throttle on the heli. Now I know better.

I decided to have a couple of landings (some of them really hard) so that I could tune the throttle curve. I must say, it made a huge difference although it's not perfect yet. I realized that the heli takes off at a throttle level of 62 - 66 and decided to flatten that part of the curve so it's less sensitive to throttle stick inputs. 


Accumulated time: 29 min
