First Flip! Then 6 more :)

I finally bit the bullet and went for a back flip. I was prepared to crash even though it was so easy to do on the sim. I did figure 8's for about 5 minutes and gave it a try. I gave it a little extra collective then slammed the right stick all the back. As it was going inverted I lowered the collective just like on the sim and flipped it on around and brought it to a nice hover and landed. It took me a few minutes to get the hands to quite shaking. I had just installed a the logictech 2100 gyro and this was my second flight with it. That gyro rocks!!! I put in my other battery and did 5 more flips with breaks in between because my thumbs were shaking so bad! My next mission is nose in. I have tried twice now and have almost crashed both times. As soon as i spin it around it is already coming straight for me
