| I had not flown my Caliber 30 since early fall and wanted to give it some stick time. I gave it a pre-flight inspection at my home prior to putting it in the truck (saves time and is warmer)  . The ride to the flying field is a 1 hour drive, so the heli had time to get cold
soaked. When I took it aloft, I had to fight it all the time. When I checked the links they were really stiff. I have been flying my Caliber 5 all winter and in colder temps, and it flies like it is on rails. I have the Rocket City links on my Caliber 30 and my Caliber 5 has the stock links. The Rocket City links are nice links, but I guess that cold temps stiffen them up. Different compound in the plastic? Oh well just another reason for summer to hurry and get here.
That can't be good! |
