Nice wind surfing...do it with the 550 all time. Makes for some big peel outs...(that's what I call them) I am gonna send you my b400 for repairs....maybe then it will fly as smooth as yours...can't get. A flight in without bending the main shaft.

@MrMrwilem Thanks! It's a lot more fun that I thought it would be. I'd be glad to offer a 2nd set of eyes to look over your heli ...

It's one of the Cinescore soundtracks included with Sony Vegas Movie Studio video editor.
