Hey Mate, a couple of more tips if you want to improve. I saw NTF's tips and they're most common sensical, but I agree 100% with him on holding back from fwd flight to work on hovering. I've had a trex 450(300 flights) and currently flying a trex500(2618 flgihts/10crashes). 1.) Practice 1 manuever for each flight. 2.) Perfect each turn CW or CCW seperately 3.) Avoid figure 8's unless you've mastered each turn. 4.) Use wood blades and low headspeed for minimal damage. STay Safe keep Simmin
@trexinvert It was quite gusty wind wise on the day i went flying you can probably hear in the mic (which might i add where the cameras mic is is on the top of the camera and it has a piece of velcro on it and is velcroed to the bottom of my hat, so even more sound dampening)
I was being conservative and going into a hover when the big gusts knocked the heli around :)
I've just finished building my Logo 400 just waiting for some nice weather to maiden her :)
@TheVTR1000SP2 I used to fly in the afternoon with 10 knot winds, and it's a real challenge. I've learned that if you stay calm the wind will "only" lift the heli, and you have to be prepared for a "drop" when you make a downwind turn. Also, I highly recommend to always fly with the wind on your back, because the wind will always push the heli away from you. Not towards you. Safety first, never mind the sun or field layout. Have fun with the Mikado heli.
Your spanish is better than my english. Yes, you need a better cam
