Looks like you had fun. Did you get some tips and pointers to help improve?

Yes and no... Iv not ran across any pilots regaurd less of skill or expierience that is not will to help.. Not to say that anyone wants to "do your job" entirely as a modeler.. But in casual talking everyone is asking, answering, etc.... But I think one must know & understand his/her equipment anyway... Even Cortez had issue this week... Saved that 700 from disaster.. Solder pop'd out of a bullet connector to the battery 8' off the deck.. While inverted!... Quick roll & auto to safety.. It was LOW & FAST! Awesome save! So I think all pilots have room to improve and learn.. Seems we alway come to preference tho honestly.. And practice.. Don't recall anything specificly... Except I may have my tail blades too tight! Lol

Interesting that you fly with 25c batteries. That may be the bogging sound. I only fly with 45c or better. You don't always need that much current but when you do 25c won't cut it. At least the way I fly.

Nice flying Clay. I really like flying the 500, it just feels right.

I've had pretty good luck with the Turnigy Nano-tech 2650 mAh 45-90c battery. I seriously doubt the 90c max rating but they are very peppy. They run about $45-50 at Hobby King.

I have found all batteries from HK brilliant:)

Well.. To each his own... Haven't had the luck u guys do.

Cortez must have extremely fast reactions to recover that heli from an 8' inverted save... Wow, hat off to him...

[cml001]

Oh it was a sweet manuver! And yeah.. He's quick on the sticks.. Good pilot.

Dude?
You didn't plug the forum last night

[cml001]

[Lee]

Got to love the sound of those Rail 556 blades

[Tony]

Brilliant flying there Clay, love your style, type you can watch and really enjoy...

[cml001]

Thanks guys... I'm practicing as much as I can... I wanna progress and feel as tho with the sim & real flight time I am.. Wanna get smoother and figure transitions and lines... Fun fun fun.. Thanks guys!

[cml001]

Oh, and yes.. LOVE Rails!

[pvolcko]

Nice. Fluid transitions. Loved the inverted flight right into yourself and then push out with piro around the 2min mark. People eat that kind of stuff up. 4 point flips at 4:20ish were nice. As were the backwards circles (almost hurricanes!) before that.

Thanks Paul!
