After a couple of nice flights with the mini-titan it was the Trex's turn hehe
First flight was the usual flying, circuits, figure 8's, stall turns, stall and stall piro turns, piros and forward flight piros.
Second flight I did a few extra things. :) A couple of barrel rolls and 3 or 4 loops.
Near the end of the flight I decided to do some autos. I started off at a couple of metres, then increasing the height. Before teh fuel got too low, I guess I had worked up to about 20 metres. As people have said happens with flybarless, it did get a little twitchy near the end as the head speed dropped, but not as bad as I thought it would be. Had lots of grass stains all over the main blades and the rest of the heli, but all is good :)
Even at the 20m I found the hang time was still quite a lot. I did practice using negative pitch to keep the head speed up
Flight times were 13 and 15 minutes, Max engine temps were 107 and 110
