Nice day for flying with just enough breeze to to keep it cool and keep the flies away.
The flights were a bit shorter (6 minutes each) as the heli was developing a vibration that gave it the shakes. It was OK when in normal mode, but as soon as the RPMs increases it would start shaking.
The new tail servo held really well and made the tail quite solid. Now if only I can sort out the other vibes.
Two flights of six minutes each
