I'll bring my gear to the group tomorrow and try that. I can do it on the sim too, but...... PUCKER. If I die you can have my stuff........just kiddin! LOL.
k , here we go. just gotta let my heart come back down out of my throat.got my lama 4 in today and it distracted me from my nose in on the trex for a while but used it to nose in a lot in the house. fun little heli. so this evening i psyched myself up and went out with the 450. put the training gear on which through the trim off quite a bit which i didn't think about. spun it around and lifted off. was pretty wobbly but i was doing it!!! set her down and spun around tail in and flew out about 40 ft and had her hovering tail in and like a mad man spun her around in the air to nose in(which i had no where near the guts to do before) and hovered some more. i can hover tail in on a dime but wabble nose in. i think because at this point i still have to consciously think about every move. even after all the sim hours. sim hours though are why i still have a bird in one piece tonight.
