Haha, I wil be shotting some video today for sure on my 450, it's pretty foggy out right now, but it should clear up enough to fly later on. I'll try to get video of the basic entries first.

Oops
Eric, now you need to add your 450 to the Funky Chicken forum.
I hope it all dries out OK.

Hehe, yeah it should be ok after a week or so. It was WAY too windy for shooting video on my 450 last weekend, we had winds of 25mph and it was very gusty. At the end of the day, I ended up putting the heli down in water, about 300 feet from where I was standing. Those rex's get tiny that far away, especially with an almost all black canopy. I will try again for video on my 600 this weekend. Sorry guys,
Eric

No worries - don't break your stuff on our account!

I'm still ironing out all the wrinkles in my snake... but I find that collective inputs are important to keep the maneuver moving, if I don't give enough collective the maneuver sort of stalls. To do a real snake you gotta carve it up - almost like making a full turn one way then the other with a half roll over the center. It's a PIA but looks so cool. I found learning backwards figure 8 snakes 1st helped (a figure eight alternating between backwards inverted for one turn and backwards right side up.)
