E-Sky Belt-CP #3 : with Flycamone on the field

This was my first real flight with the flycamone v2 attached. The results are OK, but it was before I had managed to get the protective cover off the lens so the picture is not very sharp. (I have since taken it off and it really improves the sharpness, contrast and colour saturation of the video!)

I was just practicing some nose in and a few stall turns.

The music is a favourite of mine from 89 (I think) called "Funky Cold Medina" by Tone Loc, it's worth listening to the lyrics :D. The original video and many more great ones like it can be found at http://www.youtube.com/user/deliciousvinyl

where do u normally fly just for a quick fly

[carlosthecactus]

Depends on how quick it is going to be. With the heli I'll nip to the little field in this vid and with the plane i will go to the weetslade colliery country park just off sandy lane. If i've got more time and Ken is flying then we go to the town moor.

[rollafatonedude]

thats just of coast lane right next to the a1 . just 5 mins from me and gary graham. you should give us a shout and come out flying one day. will take you to the cramlington club and fly down there as i noticed you commented on the field on the video he posted the other day. that was me flying the t rex clone hovering above his plane.

[carlosthecactus]

Yeah that would be cool :D I, along with a friend Ken, have been flying for a year or two now and we were looking to find a club sometime this year. I am going to be really busy on the weekends for the next couple of months so I'm rarely going to be getting out for more than a quick flight, but when I get some time I'll drop you a line, cheers! :D (Ken is also on youtube, his channel is kgpierce )

[rollafatonedude]

well i will send u my phone number by private message and give me a ring . i fly both heli and planes so give me a call even if its just for a quick flight. am always up for that and your only five mins away since i just i live at cramlington

Man that is cool, I really need to fix my heli! I haven't tried a camera on a heli yet, that looks great!

[carlosthecactus]

Good point! I use a Futaba 6EXHP which also has a throttle hold on it so I'll use that. Cheers.

i was afraid of idle up mode for months mate and then one day i actually gave it a go and it was luvly :D the only thing you need to watch out for is when/if you crash the heli will continue to batter itself on the ground :( so get used to throttle hold (dx6i use switch b4 flight and button b4 crash) but instead of floating on the breeze it will feel more like it cuts though it ;)

[carlosthecactus]

It was a really windy day. I the heli was downwind of me and was pointing downwind. It was quite high and I was trying to bring her down. I was flying in normal mode as I have never actually tested the idle up curves and I was getting loads of transitional lift from the wind so the head speed was getting lower and lower but the heli didn't come down. I then lost control (blade stall?) and she landed nose first. I'll fly idle up from now on I think!

sweet i look forward to analyzin it :) do you knowwhat happened or why you went in?
