Well, I did it. Took my new Raptor 30V2 across the street to my Parents back yard, and flew, a little. A bit windy, but I wanted to give it a shot, as I've burnt about a gallon, hovering in my driveway. I was able to do a few piorettes in each direction, "COOL" and was really able to move it around some. THEN, I got a bit too high, and a gust of wind caught it, and blew it sort of sideways past where I was standing, and it went in on it's side. BUT, no biggie. Fly Bar, and blades, that's all. The main shaft and everything else was spared! It's already set to fly again tomorrow. "IF THERE'S NO WIND" My Daddy always told me, "If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough" Ha! He did leave out the part about needing a fat wallet though!

Well, flew again today, just a slight wind. She flew beautiful, and I brought it home in one piece! Ha! She even seems better than before. Could it be that I took more time setting things up this time? Only thing that confused me, was I had to go about 8 turns shorter on my rudder rod? Perhaps the boom got moved into the frame a little? I did loosen it, and checked everything. The belt tension seems the same. Oh well, guess it's just one of those things. I just don't like guessing with these things. Perhaps a slight movement of the boom results in a few turns of adjustment?

OOPS!

OK, here's the score so far: ME- 0 GRAVITY - 2
While doing some pieoretts, went in a little sideways. Leg on my Helimax training gera broke (again), and the main blade got into the dirt. No biggie, just another mishap. Lucky me, bought 2 flybars and a set of blades Friday! Ha!
