We're Back Up and Flying ...

On Friday, Oddbod and I picked up some replacement / spare blades for our CX2's from Mr Heli and then today, I repaired and took her out for some test runs in my lounge room first and then over to a mate's house in his rather large backyard.

It was a nice still day, only a breeze once, which took it awfully close to the clothes line (phew). I did start to have an issue though, when making the CX2 go forward, it wasn't responding properly and at one point as it's elevation rose - I had it hovering as high as a two-storey house ;)

Bad Ass CX2

Today, I had some really cool flight tests and I think I've got the trim down pat, just still getting use to the controls.

I tried to take it outside in my backyard, but it was too windy and it kept blowing the CX2 towards my house or off the grass, making it difficult to hover. The battery now needs charging as it started to feel sluggish and I'll looking forward to Sunday when Mojo comes around and we head out to the park.
