I finally finished the TREX600 and mounted the oregon scientific on it. We'll see what happens...
Also the LHS in Lewisville Texas carries every thing that you could possibly want online. While I was in there I picked up som string lights,,
I think that should sov the Night Flight orientation problem that I had last week causing the Crash.

One question that I have is: Is orientation almost like starting over on learning how to fly?

How do you mean? Do you mean, is knowing which way round your heli is at altitude hard? Then yes it is! Practice as much on the sim as you can before attempting anything too risky in real. Also start off low and don't let yourself take the heli too high, it can easily run away from you ....

I put a Blue String lighs on the Heli that goes straight down the Boom and also silouettes the Tail fin, and Put some Green String light on the Canopy.
Last night I did a test run at a safer altitude for Orientation.
The Lights helped out a lot, I checked the Video to see if the lights showed up.
Didn't seem have a problem with them. I'm going to try a couple more Test flights this evening. I Hope it stays that way. I want to mount the Camera on some time soon, But I don't want to have a crash with that one there..
