| The trip back was great thanks. Bit long though. Shame the best weather came Monday just as we left. 
No, it has nothing to do with being friends with Kevin. In fact, I bought my 600's from overseas whilst I was at IRCHA last year, not from Kevin. I may have liked the Xtreme better with a different head setup. I know it is infinitely configurable and for me personally, I don't think this is a good thing. I want a bird that has a only a few head adjustments available but is basically set to 3D out of the box. I think over 200 available setups is WAY too many.
The Xtreme is a thing of beauty though and it is a rocket in FFF, this was evidenced as Robin hosed me in the drags, but he WAS running 30% Nitro and I was running 18%. I am sure with a different head setting I could get it to fly how I like but I am currently happy with my 600's so the X50 will have to wait for now. I DO need a Trex 500 to fly behind my house in the schoolyard however. Nitro birds are just too offensive and dangerous there...
Yup, I think Ian, myself, Linton and Jonny (if he has a heli by then) will be at AkaAka. Hope the wind stays away this time!
