Ok flying day

Well today I started at 5.30 p.m and ended at 6.30 p.m. Today's flying session was OK but something has happened during my second lipo. My Elite seems lost control during nose in descend. The motor stop responding for a second. I land and check for problem. It seems that everything is OK but then I had noticed something. My throttle stick revolution seems weird. When I pull up the throttle around 10 percent there is no respond but then only after 10% then the blade start spinning. Other than this everything was fine. Well this is common problem just reprogram my ESC then walla..problem solved. Overall today's flying session is OK but not as good as the day before.

The following images is my regular flying site. It's an archery range in UUM. It's a nice place to fly small electric heli and plane.

What a day

Fantastic and perfect..what a day..actually I'm talking about my flying session..hehe. This evening is perfect for polishing my skills. Starting from 5.30pm until 6.30pm non-stop flying with my Elite. Not a single blow of wind.

I can say now my orientation is getting better and better. I can attack from any angle, left and right, nose tail, circuit far more confident, N-D funnel is perfect, low inverted much2 better. What can I say. Can't get any perfect than today. Flying with 4 lipos tagged 8 minutes each. Luv my lipos..value for money..

Simple guideline

Wanna jump into this exciting hobby? This is a simple guideline for you before seriously consider to join this exciting hobby and make it as ur part of your life.
1. Always remember this is not a toy but hobby. Take it seriously or you might endangering others.
2. This is not a cheap hobby. Do not invest your self in cheap RC product that is not reliable. There is no trade for safety. Remember cheap = unreliable.
3.Do not play your RC helicopter/plane/car/ if there is children around. They might be jumping into your flying/track range and you might hit them with your precious RC and can be severely injured them and in some cases can even resulted into death!!!. FYI for electric 450 size helicopter, its blades rotates at approximately 2500-2900 rpm!!!. You don't wanna this thing to hit your loves one right?
4.Stay tuned..;D

List of my helicopter flying skills so far

This is a list of my helicopter flying techniques that I can do and some I'm still learning how to do it properly. After grueling 8 months of training this is the list that I can do. Not much but for a lone pilot it's OK i guess.

1. Tail-in hover
   
2. Side-in hover (both sides - 90 degrees)
   
3. Nose-in hover (ground and up)
4. Forward flights (slow and fast)
   
5. Loop
   
6. Pirouette hover
7. Circuit (left and right side)
   
8. Nose-down funnel but needs improvement
9. Figure 8
   
10. Cuban figure 8 but needs improvement
11. Nose-in inverted but needs improvement
12. Stationary flip (nose down and nose up)
    

So far I'm satisfied with the skills that I acquired with the help of my good sifu (umran).

My Helicopters

I have 2 RC helicopters one is Dragonus II SA which has been fused with Airwolf body and the second is Dragonus II NV. The following is my setup for my NV:

1. Cyclic servos : 3 x Hitec HS56
2. Tail servo: Hitec HS 65MG
3. Gyro: Futaba GY240
4. ESC: Align 25A ESC
5. Motor: Align 3550KV
6. Receiver: Futaba 6 chn

This is my Dragonus II SA Airwolf. (Electronic setup for my Airwolf is the same with my NV only the differences are on the ESC (35A Align) and the tail servo (Hitec HS56).















And this is my NV

My life so far

OK this is my first blog ever created on the WWW. My objective for this blog is I'm going to record what ever happen in my life so far be it my beloved hobby (playing remote control helicopter and airplane) or my own 2cents about what is going on around me.

I'm also would like to share my experience playing RC helicopter and plane with people who interested in this hobby.
