Finished my first case of fuel.
Took me 3 weeks but I got through 4 gallons of fuel and no crashes yet
 . Learned how to auto, fly inverted, flip, roll, pirouette, and a lot of nose in stuff as well as hovering practice. Anyways, just thought I would let others know .How are you guys doing? |

Re: Finished my first case of fuel.
C'mon Ken, get that shank boner fueled and/or charged, and let's go beat these things like the red headed step children that they are. :22a: Mine is ready to go, just give me the word. Don't forget, I have a nice set of training sticks you can use until you get used to the hovering thing. Until the weather gets a little better, you can just practice balancing a broom stick on your finger tip.
That is pretty much what flying a chopper is like. What time does the boss lady get home from work? Maybe we will have enough time to fly them up in your bonus room before she gets home. If we decide to do that though, we need to do it before we put my Cap up there. I don't want you to put you chopper blades through the side of my Carden. Don't forget to fill the fridge first.

Re: Finished my first case of fuel.
Addicting is a better word. Put 14 flights through the raptor today. Onto the 6th gallon of fuel and I haven't even been flying a month yet
, althought at this rate looks like I am going to need a job to keep up with the fuel consumption.

Re: Finished my first case of fuel.
? Maybe if I flew FAI flew with 0% Nitro, but at $18 a gallon for 30% Nitro I don't think I could make it for any cheaper.
I tried the 0% Nitro on my Moki 180 and it cost just as much as the manufacturers were selling it for. |
