This flight is cut a little short because my trans. battery alarm went off so I landed it a bit abruptly at the end.

Very nice flying TD, not as abrupt or aggressive as some 3D flying that I’ve seen, easy to watch. :)

Yeah, very smooth flying!

Quick question, do people drop the power when landing because they kind of auto rotate it for a smooth landing or is it just cool? :)

What head speed are you running Troy? It sounds pretty low.

The power cut for landing is just cool. I like to see how long it'll hang in the air before landing. It's not as cool as an auto, though. :p


I was in idle-up 1 motions, it's around 1700-1750. No governor, so with a glow engine, that changes with the weather. Idle-up 2 should be around 1850. My Hyper's got a lot of gallons through it, so it's getting pretty tired, too.

I was gearing up to bring it a little lower before the trans started screaming at me. It was the first flight that day and the sun was starting to set anyway. I just squeezed the flight in to get some video. That flying site is just a soccer field and I was flying perpendicular to it, so It's a little constricing. Not being a 3D guru, I like a little more space when I start rolling it around. :confused:

Space is good. I fly in a few different spots other than my field.
