another great flying day
Tuesday, April 6th, 2010Sunny, clear sky, almost no wind – perfect flying conditions. I flew from 15:00 -17:30 almost all my Lipos (5 big and 3 small ones). The “old” 2200mAh Zippy Flightmax performed better than I thought.
I’m getting better and better at inverted hovering – with both helis (CX450, TR250). Today I even climbed inverted.
I flipped the helis in all 4 directions.
Another nice thing that I didn’t do before: a roll while flying 30° downwards.
It was great fun! No fear, no scary situations. It looks and sounds so beautiful when the heli is in a knife-edge position during flips or rolls.
Tails were good except once where the small one yawed 90° – that’s no real problem.
It’s the first time that I’m testing the Align carbon blades for the 250 outdoors. They are 8,5g compared to Blattschmied’s 7,5g. Align blades are 205mm long, Blattschmied’s are 195mm. The Align Blades perform similar, but have less power in fast forward flight or when climbing into a loop.
