      Love the skids in rainbows, you would be able to do skids in tick tocks with a bit of work. Your piroetting circle clockwise left field is coming along nicely as well. Try some right field. I noticed you doing a couple of inverted to upright 1/e piros and a couple of 1/2 piro upright to inverted. Keep practicing those, they can really build your routine. Overall looking really good @Geena really improving very quickly and you have developed your own style as well. Well done! Keep on flying!

      Thank you @The Dude and @smakmeharder. I have be practicing every day, and it makes me really happy that I am showing some progress. I did have a slight setback today though, when @Crash Heligod came calling...LOL The anti rotation pin came out of the swash plate of the 550 this afternoon, while inverted a few meters from the ground...LOL...ooops. Oh well. It will give me something to do later tonight.

      Wow you fixed it that fast it's just like it never happened.
      Poor little 550. Don't forget to refresh your crash pardon. Lol

      LOL... yes, I don`t let my helicopters sit broken for very long. It took me about 1.5 hours to get it going again, and since it was down anyway...I decided to change all the balls and link ends. I figured it could not hurt. Thanks for reminding me to refresh my crash pardon too. :)

      Thats the way to do it. . ...Fly, crash fix and fly.. For my helis i normally have a complete spare tail with boom and head built ready to go, makes repair very quick.

      Dam Crash again! I bet you actually put the pin in right but he somehow managed to make it fall out! On a side note, you did manage to get the heli back in the Air quick. It would appear that Both you and the Dude share the same talent! @The Dude can put a heli back together so fast its unreal! and he does an awesome job as well!

      Dear @Geena it was lovely to pay you a visit again, though sorry I could not chat. The anti rotation pin is so very easy to dislodge with a bit of elbow grease and i saw it was loose so i thought i would finish the job for you. Its concerning that your progression is developing at such a rapid rate - If you keep on progressing i shan't be able to visit you as much in the future! So I had to try and slow you down - just a bit... muah ha ha ha...

      Oh... poor misguided Crash. Your visits don`t slow me down at all. They just make me stronger, and more eager to progress even faster. :)

      so true, what doesn't kill you heli makes you stronger and a better pilot (although they can get wounded from time to time)
