@Vimana89 Hey mate. Yeah I will definitely make the transition when I feel a little more comfortable with the basics, that was my first fly ever
so there is a few things I need to learn. I need a cable to try simulators as well, I'm sure it's a lot of fun. Awwwh the mighty DR1
, I should receive my HobbyKing order on Thursday, and it will soon fly.
And everyone says I should go higher, and now that I re watch the vids I can see how low I am. My first opinion was "Don't go to high", which is exactly what my father says while I fly
and I'm like : "I'm trying not to!", and of course I could get a second chance if I make a bad turn and I'm higher. This advice has been noted. Next time I will start by triming the plane. I wanted to when I flew but I was so surprised the plane was in the air, and so stressed out that the only thing in my mind was not to crash it. And by the way I said earlier that I loved Flitetest concept, and honestly I am very very surprise that I could simply duct tape the plane and get it in the air again. It makes so much sense now to watch the flitetest derby where everyone destroys their planes. You built it? You can fix it! This is such a relief actually. I promised my nephew I would build the plane and fly it with him but I was very afraid of destroying it right away (reason why I didn't take him saturday), now it's not a problem anymore, one mental block gone.
@FDS I would be thankful if you could share your settings for the Orange transmitter, thanks. And I kinda remember reading about logs of your flights from transmitter. Can I somehow get the logs of my last flights? Not home right now but I will play with the transmitter a bit, I guess it's something you have to setup before flying.
I compiled the flight times and reached 4m30, so you're advice for a 5 minutes timer was spot on. I ended up with 3.88 approximately on each cells so I guess I can try and put the timer to 7 minutes next time, and will try to fly it in one row. Your advice about the trimming sequence has been noted too.
One note about fixing it, I will cut nice square pieces where it broke to a have a nice surface to glue to, and maybe add a little behind/inside overlapping reinforcement to have even more gluing surface, that should do the trick.
Thanks everyone for your advice and kind words, it's such a nice community, good vibes around here.
You all take care, cheers
