That was a wild ride! Very cool.
It would be cool to see you do a flip through the goal posts. lol

Yeah let's put some flight manoeuvres in for Dan to do... Haha... Hmmm, ok. Do a nose dive towards the goal post then flip it as you go through it....or maybe hover inverted.... Haha

i that video i was going to go through the posts after one of the dives but bottled it as i pasted it i was at the right height, horizontal gap isn't a problem vertical is a different story but im working on that.

I might try a flip through the posts as long as the entry isn't at 50mph. Quick flick of throttle and flip in theory, damn i wish i was a team pilot i could push so much harder.

I think your doing a fantastic job Dan, you have progressed so much in the last few months. And your skills and knowledge with the quad are certainly something to be proud of.....

Thanks tony. I live, breath and sleep bloody mini quads, im not sure if thats a good or bad thing.

And wait for the bodge-copter im hoping the thing is near indestructible, Im working on the german theory, of needlessly over engineering it. It would have been cheaper to buy a blackout 330 and ive not even got a the bits yet. lol.

Nice flight Dan.
I've played a bit with rolls and flips but I get more of a buzz out of low altitude high speed proximity flying (and crashing) :)

Lol it all gives me a buzz. At the moment I try to do a couple of packs of each fast and low, prox and then acro. In the hope that some day I can string it all together in a nice fluid flight.

Its been 9 days since ive last flown, due to the weather. Its dry today but really windy about 25-30mph, but like ive said embrace the wind, and i had an itch that needed scratching :D .

had some good fun in the wind, heres some fast and low 8's with crash.

The crashed caused the motors too desync so i couldnt fly the remaining 7 packs :(, i had to come home and recalibrate the esc's.

WHOA!!! That was awesome! While watching the video, I was wondering if you crashed into the ground or clipped a goal post. You were definitely tempting those posts, lol. After you got the esc's recalibrated, is the quad "all good" again?

apart from all the devastation yesterday i put a few packs through porket, i think this was the second. it felt super locked in after flying the un-tuned B-copter.
