I just had to let everyone know that a fellow helifreak member "RodneyWimberly" inspired me to try out some new things after he informed me that he started doing flips and rolls. I re-did my head one more time and leveled my swash (boy did that improve things a lot), tweaked throttle / pitch curves as well as the gain on all my idle settings.

After all of that, on my second battery of the day I decided to go inverted. (granted, it was WAY up there in case I screwed up) All I can say now is I LOVE this thing, it’s just like the SIM. Flips, rolls, inverted piros. I think I just got through my mental block and said, hell with this and just flew the thing like it’s meant to be flown. Depending on how daring I get tomorrow I think I’m going to try the backwards, inverted figure eights. (I did say Maybe, and it will be VERY high in the air.. lol)

Thanks. Granted I never did those backwards, inverted figure eights although I did do some sloppy backwards, inverted circles. I think that they look really cool.

Next step: Watch all of the G4's intermediate heli school videos and perfect them. I soooo want to learn how to perform piro flips but the G4 video doesn't really "tell" you how to do them. Arrrggg.
