That's really cool, Lee! Glad you got it all back together and ready to go. Are those the Blackline blades?

Yes, really good news Lee. Here almost rebuilt another Agile 5.5. Just waiting for funds to get some 6s batteries.

Umm, false start on the maiden.
Took it to the local club to test. Had forgotten to set up the tail limits.
Without my PC or my android phone, I was grounded

But now its all set up properly, and ready for tomorrow

Sounds like a brain fart...we all have those. Good luck tomorrow Lee!

Did my one full battery spool up on the ground today, to check for any issues before lift off.
Everything is still tight. Blade tracking was out, so a couple of turns of the turnbuckles, and its spot on.
Tomorrow I'll give it some air under its feet

You check tracking on the ground? Interesting. I always lift off into a low hover and slowly move above and below my sight line to check the disc silhouette. I'm always worried about a tip over if I leave it on the ground too long.

I normally lift off for tracking, but during the test spool up, it was really obvious the tracking was out.

ah. Have had that happen. Can get a bit dicey trying to take off with it that bad.

Maiden went really well.
Shes locked and loaded.
I'm sure you don't want to see me just hovering around in all orientations,
so i won't bother uploading the video, unless someone asks

Post by **pvolcko** » Wed Jul 01, 2015 2:43 pm

All orientations? 45degree quartering yaw on knife edge, skids in?

Lee · Post by **Lee** » Wed Jul 01, 2015 5:55 pm

Never seen a heli hover in a knife edge

Graham Lawrie · Post by **Graham Lawrie** » Wed Jul 01, 2015 6:39 pm

I want to see it

Derek · Post by **Derek** » Wed Jul 01, 2015 7:03 pm

Hovering with skids in? That would be impressive!

Excellent news Lee, yeah I want to see the vid too, get it uploaded mate...
