Not a major break through for some, but it was for me. I was able to finally get the guts up enough to flip and roll the 500 today. It is a sight to pull back on that thing for the first time and see it spinning in front of you. Wow is the only word. What made it even better was to be in the company of another heli freaker and share the experience with. Watched kitfox push the envelope on his 500 esp a little more as well

Dont know how many packs we burnt through today, it could not have gotten any better..

LOL.. Pretty much... The first move was a stationary back flip.. It rolled over so fast that I did not even have a chance to think about it... I just pulled back on the cyclic and popped a little bit of negative and it was done... then I did a few rolls from a hover... Then it was like WOW did that just happen... I shook it off flew around some landed... New battery and did it again!
