    I went down to MRCHC and it was an awesome sunny day.. I hoped to get my goblin up but did not finish the motor installation. Great fathers day overall. How about anyone else, did you fly?

      Yeah I went to LDMFA.. Only me and a couple of plankers flying, so it was pack after pack. As it was fathers day my son joined me a did a couple of packs on my F450 quad. First time he's flown did really well.

      I did 15 packs so can't wipe the smile off my face. Did my first rainbows today. They weren't exactly like the ones God makes but my son thought they were awesome..

      Need to look up the HeliGods video tutorial on rainbows, was loosing a bit of height on the transitions. Nothing that a mass of collective couldn't correct but something to work on. I got between 4 and 5 transitions at each end before I bailed.

      Awesome fathers day.

      The trick is to take off at the right angle.. Too steep an angle and your heli will drop. If the angle is too shallow it will shoot sky ward. This angle is different for every helicopter. If your Heli has heaps of power, you can create a very steep angle, almost verticle and make some very impressive rainbows...

      No Helis but did get in my first FPV on a quad. By the third battery in I was doing some close proximity flying. I think I am hooked, just need to do it with a few more people.
