Nice controlled flight! Thanks for the vid!

[littlehammer05]

Very nice!

[averagebrunette]

Thanks :-D I love the RC Hobby!!

Great flying! I loved watching it. Good auto at the end. I also enjoyed your 260 video. I think you may need a new camera or cameraman though.
Maybe someday I will fly like you....
How long have you been flying RC? helis or planes?

[averagebrunette]

I've been flying Heli's for 5 years and airplanes for 4. Flying the heli allows me to forget the rest of the world and just focus on the flight. I try to keep things precise and in control... and if it is a screwup then move on to another manuver quick so people think you meant to do that on purpose. LOL

Currently my favorite aircraft to fly is my 120cc Extra 260. I wish I could find a dedicated cameraman to post better vids.

Hey Sarah,
Can you find someone to video your flying? I know we would all love to see how you're doing! I know you are way ahead of me.

I know her Brother says she is doing great!!

[RCTada]

Wish you were local my girfriend is awesome at videoing and taking pics of me and my buddies flying! She wants to learn someday too and when I show her this video she will be inspired because all she sees flying here are guys. Will have to start her out small.

[Lynbird]

Average Brunette,
What part of the US are you in? Are any of us that post here near you that we could get together to fly? I know I could sure learn a lot from you and I'm not bad with a video camera.
Well I'm off to our club's family picnic Should be about 140 people and it is a beautiful day for a change.

I live in VA, I see that you are in SC... i'd be willing to meet you both half way. I'll be at FlyForTots in NC for a big fun fly charity event they do every year to help kids. I'll also be bringing the big planes and hope to fly in the noon demo with my PAU Bulldog... we shall see. If I get in the noon demo it would be nice to have a real fan video it for me lol seriously, if you want to make the trip up we can hang out for a while.

For event details please visit flyfortots.org

[averagebrunette]

SWEET!!! I'm trying to get the same spot as last year.... all the way at the end of the flight line :-) We may have met last year and not known it.

To post video here just upload it on youtube and paste the link here directly when viewing where the youtube address is, personally I am amazed and its so much fun seeing you gals fly, its like seeing something you don't see often and not in a bad way just very awesome to me to see you ladies even like the hobby, its rare in this field of hobby, my fiance wants to fly that she got so frustrated in the sim and started crying lol it was cute but I asked her to keep trying and not give up coz it takes time to learn.

[Tam_T]

Awesome flying. I like seeing nice controlled flights like that. Nice stall turns, some good inverted , and I really liked that you went back up for another auto. I'm the same way. I just started doing flips and sometimes they are really ugly, so then I have to do another until I feel it's acceptable looking.

Let's see moe video! I think my friend got a video of me crashing this morning. It's probably a good 10 seconds long I can only get better, right?

[averagebrunette]

if your not crashing your not learning... at least that is what the guys at the field say. LOL I say at least your flying. Take your time, I spend hours in the sim every week with both planes and heli's. I really don't have that much "air" time. I'm on my 3rd gallon of glow fuel in the 5 years I've been in this hobby. I also have some electric heli's that I use to fly all the time, Then big planes happened... now been doing that for 4 years so the heli doesn't get flown much. This flight was I think the 12th flight I've had this year (That wasn't fixed wing). I focus on getting the heli all setup, mixes, etc... then it is JUST like the sim. At least it's easier said then done when you have a magic red button. So treat every sim flight like it is your heli... put a $1 in a jar every time you crash. Then when your out at the field and you crash for real, you have some crash money saved up. I also shopped e-bay to stock up on spare parts, look for the deals when you don't need them. This heli was built from spare parts and I deceided to make it a night rig. Anywho... I was in the earthquake today and got shuckup a little by the falling roof tiles... then I came home for a few cocktails.. WAHOO!!! now i'm here. Thanks for watching everyone, i'll try to get some more vids up. I plan on being at heli invasion also with my other 600 as well. I also want to night fly my outrage g5. Oh well.... time to start getting ready for Huricane Irene, batten down the hatches!!! I'm getting sick of natural desasters...

I was watching that video and swore I had seen someone that looked exactly like you at FFT last year. Yea it is a nice event but not geared towards helis at all. I don't know if I'll even go and that's one of the 2 fields I fly at.

Yup its me they had 2 heli pilot stations at the left of the runway. The one guy with a big scale heli did some autos and in the noon time demo there was some local talent that really threw down. It is both aircraft flying at the same time.

Did we meet? Or were you one of the webcam Watchers. Evidently I kept walking by it and didn't know it till some one told me.. lol
