Hey T...Nice 1st & 2nd flips. The 3rd attempt looks like you were just light on the negative or the cyclic. Couple of good points: 1.) You didn't attempt it mile high like others. Visibility/control. 2.) You pretty much did it in the same spot. Good set up. 3.) After you succeeded you did it again. You like to push for more. 4.) You didn't leave the mode switch on "normal" and crash like I did on my first. Good job keep on flying.
first thing i said when i took off was make sure my idle-up was on.. i was very anxious and after watching ovr and ovr i came to the conclusion that i didn't give it enough negative.. guess im not used to the whole stick banging thing!! thanks for watching, happy flying!!
Hey H94... I think it's better to fly close, so you can control/see every subtle stick movement. I see too many sportflyers go into inverted free flight for 5 seconds and then bailout. If you have true control from sim practice, you shouldnt be holding your breathe. Approach invert like another orientation, and develop precision/control. You cant do that at 100ft. Perfect on the sim, and then make a commitment to correct on invert. How close? Its up to you/control/comfort.
Looks like your camera is in sync with the rotors pretty sick looking

sorry for a very late reply but when you say i didn't try it a mile high like others, is that a good thing?
