Another great evening flying with Graham!
Very good filming again man. Your getting used to my erratic flying!
Should sneak in a flight or two over the weekend between rain showers.

Aye Dan that's the house I grew up in, it comes with the job. I don't own any of it but am fortunate enough to live and work here.
I cant tell you how shaky I was flying the 700, lol. It was the first flight with it this year and I just forgot how crazy it is!
I ordered an optipower backup guard for it, Ill feel so much better with one. Its not so much the crashing that gets me but more the damage it can do to someone
if I mess up or I lose receiver power.
With the backup guard I will have 4 lipos strapped to this thing!! Might need to look into a good external BEC to replace the 2s reciever lipo.
Any suggestions welcome.
Tonight I reduced the headspeed (from 1950 to 1800) and cyclic agility so I can fly it a bit more smoothly and not be in a constant state of anxiety, lol.

Go for it Graham, I flick of a switch and Cam has the sticks should it go wrong.... The excitement and adrenaline rush from that experience would be awesome man.... Do it, you know you want to. Just keep it high enough so Cam has time to recover it should he need to...
