The sun is shining!

Batteries charged, cables and connectors checked, props and motors spinning correctly and brain is as engaged as it can be....today is the day for my maiden flight!

A few more jobs to do but it';s good enough for some low level fun in the park, if it works I';ll show you the pictures!

Have a good day flying all!

Success (ish)!

The first take off we well, but when I got a bit of height I initiated circle mode but I don';t think I was high enough. The copter headed off as if it was going to circle, but lost height and seemed like it was going to crash, so I panicked cut the throttle and crash anyway! The second lift was much better, more height and a safe return!

Just one battery..quit while I was ahead today!!!
