Well I just need to learn to fly these Helis!
Took mine around the Block to a secluded old Quarry with enough room for Hover practice. The grass could use a mow though resulting in having to clean a lot of green coating off (mainly) the tail rotor blades. I actually managed to Hover for a few seconds at a time up to a couple of feet before realizing that that was too scary and then getting it back on the ground. It certainly manages to cover lateral distance quickly if you dont keep on top of it. Actually happy with the wide feet that Graham put on the Gaui - makes it pretty stable when you do some slightly sideways landings. Just have to watch not to drop it to the ground too quickly (none of the cushioning you get when using training gear).
Dave - I'm still getting that glitching happening even after tightening the tail rotor belt. It seems to be be motor power cutting out momentarily every now and then. I've noticed it happen (not to the same extent though) to my planes on occasion when flying - just a power hiccup every now & then - will have to investigate.
