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 ;)

Out of Action

After breaking my lower blade, and then discovering the hairline break in the top blade, actually snapped off as well, I regrettably had to cease flight.

Until Tuesday, when Oddbod and I are off to see Mr Heli for spare parts.

I'm really enjoying my CX2, however, I need to get her out into bigger area without wind.

Update (15/1): Mr Heli wasn't there today, so tomorrow is another day.

Update (17/1): Still no parts from Mr Heli. Here's hoping by the weekend ...
