Video progress report!

[Heli Yea!]

Same gain Ive calced my headspeeds to be almost the same. 6s/2599, 4s/2555 you are right though the 4s is a touch lower.

[Heli Yea!]

Just buy another servo. If you can fix it great but use it for a spare.

Was trying to do some low inverted today, as it was a nice day and the wind was very calm. Also had the hatcam on, so this is one of the packs. Bit samey, as a lot of it is just trying to get good control in low inverted piro hovers, of which I was only partially successful, as I wanted to get lower, and catch it on film, but sadly I just couldn't get as low as I'd hoped.

Believe it or not the pressure of trying to put it on video, made me far worse than I normally am. Everytime I got low, my collective control became twitchy at best as shaky hand syndrome took over. Without the video, I more or less don't suffer now. Pity, as I wanted to show off, lol. Still, it's not too bad, but with the pressure it did seem lower in real life.

Nothing to see at the end, after I landed, just didn't want to crop the video, as if I edit I lose quality.

Anyway, somthing on film for the first time in a while.



Cheers

Andrew, you're my hero! I want to be just like you when I grow up, ( except for the hopeless drunkard bastard part, pretty much got that covered already, thank you very much )!

[Heli Yea!]

Oh sure just make my vids look like boring first hovers. Nice flying I also feel pressure when filming. I feel sometimes filming pushes me too. You gotta show off a little. That's some tail drift you have there. As soon as you got her upside infact, just kept on doin 360's

[sutty]

Just practicing Chad, in case my gyro ever lets go completely.

And Tom, as for the hero part, I automatically assumed that was because of the druken part, and then you confused me by saying you already had that covered. At least we know what we both like to do beyond flying helis.

Cheers Guys.

Oh, and yes Chad, in all seriousness, I do like to do a video every now and again, because since I fly alone, sharing it with you guys is what pushes me on, and the slight additonal pressure is probably good for me, if for no other reason than I fly more rlelaxed next time, and can push it even more.

[Heli Yea!]

+1 IM in the same boat. I fly alone my friends around here could care less about my helis/flying. Glad to be here for ya and glad yall are here for me!

[jperkosk]

Heartless bastards of the friends, Chad

It must be contageous, though, because mine are the same

[sutty]

Mine too. They just take the piss and wiggle their thumbs if ever I try to mention them.

[Tomstoy2]

Hmmm, must be a foreign thing? Everybody I meet is really fascinated by it!
Even my close friends just love it, ( as long as I don't mention the amount of money I have floating up there just ready to be totally destroyed or lost, that is, or perhaps that is the fascination?

[Heli Yea!]

Funny thing is my buddy bitches and moans at me every time I say "Just got bad ass heli parts" but now that he knows what FPV is, he wants to try . He even said If I had everything he would buy the goggles. Then he said so he could fly it! I told him I'll get my own goggles bro.

Back from Easter holiday in Poland, hit the ol' country with my brother unannounced, we have just shown up there as if we lived next door, hahaha. Mom was turning 80, that was the main reason for the visit, but you should see the faces of some family members, priceless

Managed some air time last weekend, here are the vids:

Very conservative hexa fpv flight:

20140510 001FPV F550 (8 min 10 sec)

New pilot training @ the club's field:

20140511 003HC New Pilot (0 min 26 sec)

My Blade 300X beater:

6HV needed to spread the wings a bit, too:

20140511 006HC 6HV (3 min 53 sec)

[sutty]

Nice Jerry, but I guess the 300 is a little shy.

[jperkosk]

YT had a processing hiccup, had to delete and re-upload the 300 clip

[copterboy]

Speaking of new pilots, maybe I should spill the beans on this. I've been thinking about getting Jack a small plank. Going to make it an incentive for doing well at school. So will be something in a couple of months for end of school year/summer hols. Always liked the little E-Flite Beast that I saw Gaz flying at the club once, but open to some idea's. Think that maybe a little delicate for a learner??

Will catch up on the other vid's after work 2moz. Need to get to bed, like 2 hrs ago

E-Flight Champ. Flies on mSR battery and my friend's training his 7 year old on it in buddy box mode. Almost undestructible. Buy RTF and tie it with the audio cable to your DX8 in a slave mode.

Correction: my friends tells me he stole my DX4 to fly the Champ in slave move, the game controller Tx that the Champ comes with has no trainer port.

Wound up @my brother's in southern NJ for the weekend on the way to a customer in Texas. Don't ask, NJ is on the way to TX from Mexico, or at least the airlines think so, as it only cost an extra $200 to extend the round trip itinerary of 2,400km by another 4,200km, go figure . Bro's got a back lawn in a form of a Persian carpet, and both my new "talking" DX18 and shiny unscratched mCPx BL were waiting for me, so one thing lead to another, look @ 0:29:

[ame]http://youtu.be/YcCyQuSEnMA[/ame]

So far the score is 2:3 advantage mCPx (1:1 in the first half and 1:2 in the second half shot on the video above), so I can't say I'm ready for trying it on anything larger, but yes, I feel PROUD

[Tomstoy2]

Fantastic, buddy! Congrats!!!

[Heli Yea!]

Awesome Jerry!!! I still get a chubby thinking about my first flip. I'm making progress on posting my video progress. I made the vid a week ago. It will be worth the wait since I have a "BIG first" as well!! Keep It up ! I did my first flip with the 500 today but did not film that flight and also "put it in," that's progress. I filmed 2 packs today though and the progress grows even bigger till the un-filmed crash. Gotta love those minis though Jerry. I miss mine but my efforts have gone towards the Belt, 500, new 450, and phantom. Keep posting em' and I'll keep watchin em'.
