Just the one flight today as I forgot to fill up the fuel bottle. Probably better though as it was very dark clouds and hard to see the heli.
Still had a nice flight. Trying to make adjustments to get rid of the tail bounce on clockwise piros. It is better, but still got some tuning to do.
The heli also had the small shakes in idle 1 and 2. Not sure what it was caused by, but will keep an eye on it.
Adjusted some of the gains on idle 2 which has improved the handling.
One flight of eight minutes
