First real maiden with HK450

[Tony]

this was my flight before the episode with the Helicopters today... nice to get it back in the air... i know its a boring video, but best i can do at moment, im sure ill get better.... hopefully..!!!

id like to remind everyone this is the Heli Treff gave me, far from resembles anything like that now, more like a prehistoric Mongrel... (Mongrel came from Lee, thanks mate)...lol. if anyone doesnt know what a Mongrel is, in the UK its a dog of mixed breed. bit like my heli really

and i am running in those new lipos, another good excuse for no HARD 3D....lol

now i want you all to sit and watch this, its exciting.... hahaha

The Mongrel seems to be doing just fine! Keep it up, Tony - and don't forget to log hours in the Phoenix

[KevG]

Seems like the hienz heli is doing well Tony, just keep up the practice

Nice flight Tony, like the others have said keep the sim time up. You will be trying tictocs rolls and flips sooner than you think.

[Tony]

Thanks guys, appreciate your support..

Hey Kev, another name eh... Heinz, Heinz.... Haha, this calls for a new thread, name that heli...lol

[KevG]

57 varieties mate it had to be!

[Tony]

Problem with the sim is, it's easy to do the basics, like stall turns, figure of 8's, even power rolls. I can do them on the sim as I have no worries about crashing....on the field though, it's very quickly brown pants time....lol

[KevG]

I hear you on that Tony,

Smooths as a smooth thing mate.
Just check that tracking, looked and sounded a bit out.

[treff]

Great stuff Tony nice to see the heli in the air. I'll send a box over so you can post it back..........................lol
Your doing great but can I see water in the background, CAREFUL! Take your time and get all the orientations down. It's a bit
boring sometimes but thats the basics of flying helis. Good luck mate, enjoy.

yeah tracking is out quite a bit mate, dont think swash is level either looking at that pirouette... scary...lol

haha, thanks Treff, its taken a lot of patience mate, but shes finally flying, time to have some fun.... i might even put my night blades back on and see them in the air this time...

time to get down to some serious orientation training now, yeah its a bit boring but absolutely essential i know...

im sorting swash now, then tracking, then sim for an hour, then out flying tomorrow again

thanks guys
