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) s...

Today during lunch time, took the heli out for another spin and consistently in my mind, I was wondering about the numerous time I stopped being careful after the first round of success and lost very expensive aircraft. So having such in mind, I took it slow and easy in a tail-in hover will a slight side hover. Halfway through the flight I decided (or the devil in me) decided to put the heli in a nose-in hover and my pulpitations started all over again. But was surprising was how stable the heli was even in the presence of mild winds. Managed to perform half a circuit and landed the heli once the 4min was up. Good job!
