G'day Flight Detent,
sorry mate, for not writing sooner, but I couldn't. I changed the apartment and it took a while until I had the phone line back.
I still owe you a picture of my Raptor Heli. I did a couple of flights already. This afternoon I did 4 or 5 and I was quite happy. Initially I crawled in the dust forward and backward and a bit to the left, then to the right, but I never flew higher than 10 cm. Later this afternoon I managed to hover at around 2 feet. It was ok, the wind was not blowing so strong and I was able to hover while keeping the position fixed. I really felt great agter the flight.
I have installed an ugly Hulla-Hoop-Ring to my Landing Gear.
so that my heli won't flip over so easily because of my jerky control inputs. But I tell you, even to start the engine the first time was a great experience, because so far I only flew electric.
Ok, I will try to make some pictures tomorrow. I have to hit the sack now, have an early morning flight. 3 am,
All the best
