My first flip!!

[Helyfreak]

Thanks to the XK k110, I was in no fear of crashing and burning. So, I threw her into idle up and Gyro into 3D mode, wobbled it around for a second and got some elevation. Threw the stick back and did my best with the pitch control. It sure wasn't pretty but I got her upside down and back right side up again. I did it successfully 3 times and man it was exciting!!! I finally did it. It may sound stupid to some, but I wanted to celebrate my accomplishment and share it. I have been flying CP helis for about a year now, took a long break in between and recently picked it back up.

I can see that the using a sim really helps, but it seemed waaaaaaaay easier to flip in sim than it was in real life. I don't know if it was a confidence thing or what, it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be compared to the sim.

Grats man! Micros are much harder to flip than bigger choppers or the sim. I agree.

Congrats! I just did my first a few weeks ago, it's a great feeling!
