Default It flies!!
Got 2 successful flights over the weekend. The first was rough. Lost a screw holding one of the tail struts on. Set it down with no trouble but noticed a couple things. It's tail heavy and my tracking was WAY off. Corrected my problems, and took it back out this morning. Just played around hovering and doing some slow piros, tracked the blades and did a couple figure 8's... She's very stable compared to my little 450's. and it's SO easy to see! I think I'm gonna like the bigger helis. After I get a couple more flights in ill start messing around with inverted stuff but I want to used to this thing first...

Where did you get the canopy? Custom? Very slick.

Just got mine up in the air today for the first time, first beastx setup and first 550 size heli. I'm still a novice but wow what a sweet well behaved heli, I'm gonna like this Outrage 550 heli a lot.

I'm loving this heli! It flies so much smoother than my 450's, and its so easy to set in the air. I hate to say it, but flying the 450's just isn't as fun as it used to be.....
