Derek's Trex 600 Pro DFC Flight Log

[Derek]

I love this helicopter! This is the one that was given to me with an Ikon, blades, and two 6S packs. Basically, this helicopter came to me RTF. Every flight is a rush and it's just a lot of fun to walk out to the field with this helicopter and know that it's "Time For Blade Farts", lol

Derek! That 600 is one awesome machine. Man i love the sound of the blades farting and the overall sound of the bird it self. Good job flying with the wind not being nice to you today.

[Derek]

Thanks buddy! It's an awesome machine and I love it!

Glad you got out and flew the fleet a bit. I finally got fed up wait for calmer weather and flew in the relatively high winds myself over this past weekend. Sounds like it was a bit worse there.

Nice flying. Keep it up!

Nice one Derek, that's an awesome bird. Bet that felt good after such a long time grounded....nice one

Thanks Paul! Yeah...the wind was much calmer when we got to the field and just gradually picked up. I had 3 planes that never flew, yesterday, because the wind was not cooperating. I wanted to fly my Delta Ray but that thing only weighs about half an ounce, lol...and in that wind.....not good! I had a maiden flight scheduled.....wrong...I'm not doing a maiden in that wind. So...the helicopters did awesome and the planes will just have to wait until next time.

Nice one Derek, that's an awesome bird. Bet that felt good after such a long time grounded....nice one

Thanks Tony! This 600 is just amazing! Its an amazing feeling while flying this beast. This was the second flight of the year..maybe the 3rd...but I'll have more to come!

[Derek]

Todays flight video. I wasn't totally into the "flying feeling" today but I wanted to get this flight pack drained a bit. Once I got it in the air and I heard the rpm's, it was suddenly "go time", lol. It really felt good.

Sorry about the dirty camera lens. We'll work on that.

That your dad filming? Gotta stay zoomed out a bit. No need to get super tight. Makes it impossible to follow and keep in frame.

I think you like the blade noises on those hard collective moves, Derek.

[Derek]

Yes, Dad was on the cam. We'll work on the zoom.

Yes, I do like the blade noises.

Lol.. Nice!

[Tony]

Very good D... Nice heli, yeah camera work needs some slight adjustments should we say...lol

[Derek]

Thanks Tony! This helicopter just doesn't fail to perform. My Dad was on the camera today and we were trying out a new method of videoing. We'll work on it.
