Even I have to eventually admit that I’m not as bad as when I started out teaching myself to fly. I can fly reasonably well for a beginner and don’t crash all the time. Yes, yes, I know this blog is full of crashes but that’s mostly because I can’t take pictures of me flying, because I’m flying. After I’ve had a crash it’s easy to take a picture, I can just wander over to the new hole the model dug and snap away.
On the second battery pack of the Venturi I was just a little bit out passing me - instead of flying a few meters away it came directly over my head. I turned around as I lost sight of it due to the cap I wear and waited the 1 second it would take to appear. While I was waiting I heard from over my right shoulder an interesting noise. Sort of a whump sound followed by some shouting.
Paul visits fairly frequently from the UK and is a member of the model club. He likes to flies his helicopters nice and smoothly while being very aerobatic. It’s pretty cool to watch but on occasion the helicopters have a little chat with terra firma. The wreckage doesn’t generally look to bad until you get close up.
