Awesome flying there Gaba, looked like a hard landing on that first one that damaged the tail...

I got distracted by a bee about to bite me . Trying to get it off o lost control ..

It happens mate, good job you weren't higher up could have been a lot worse for wear

Good flight bud.

Some smooth flying there Gaba.
Shame about the tail strike

nice flights Gaba.

I was all worried throughout the flight waiting for something horrible to happen. See it go inverted and I'm thinking "how long has it been since Gaba flew? is he that rusty that this could be it?" Then it goes into the sun and the camera guy turns down at one point and I'm thinking, "Oh no!". It gets to the end and it looks like it's coming in for a nice landing and then it dumps to the ground a bit and tail spins a little... "That's it?!"

heh.

Glad I could be suckered in and deliver the joy to you.

At least he blamed it on a bee and not some tail problem again LOL
Just playing GABA

Sad part is that bee got me on my right hand a few minutes later. So I hurt the heli's tail and have a balloon for a hand right now .

oh. That stings.

Ba da bum.

Lol

Nice flying Gaba. Inspiring. I've been working on flying backward circuits (Simulator) but watching your video I can see how being inverted fixes the backward correction problem..

Thanks for the tip.

What was the wind speed 30 MPH?? (48 KPH)

Yeah 25mph with 30-35mph gusts.. It was pretty bad .. Lol

700 eat that stuff up if you correct them enough. As you saw how my 700nitro got engulfed in it's own smoke hovering inverted.. When I flew the 180.. Wind was about 18-20mph.. It was struggling but still enjoyable as it was a large open space so I could let it stray some and still fly it


Ken : stick together stocks apart ..? Together or synchronized movements for forward and inverted backward
Sticks apart for backward right side apart and inverted forward ..

If you didn't know that.. This might help
