Beautiful birds view in HD

I just got my lightweight HD 808 #16 keychain and place it under my slow HK TRISTANIA @ TECHONE SPIRIT EPP foam plane. Flew FPV above our local area and too beautiful view of the surroundings.  The birds eye view on HD  looks beautiful.  Flying on FPV with HD recording make me appreciate more about the scenic beauty and surrounding where we live.    Life is now always need to be confined on ground level.  Its nice to be like a bird once.

Yay! WL V911 micro helicopter

Oh finally!, china factory did a good job making a 100 size version clone of Align Trex 100. Its "WL V911 micro heli"  gazzilion times more stable, durable, no brainer to fly, easy and so damn cheaper than my last Trex 100s.  At laughable price i bought one for a test fly and it binded with my 2.4ghz TURNIGY 9X transmitter easily and my heli controls more precision and accurate,  This heli is so fun to fly indoors and you can fly where your mind commands it to do and it hovers still with less dirfting effect.  It made my old Trex 100s looks like a pile of crap and deserved to be in paper shredder.  I've crashed it hard, did destruction derby with another same heli and crashed with each other, bam against the wall and it still back up and fly like a new heli. Not even a dent, not any serious scratches and nothing broke and it even comes with spare blades which we seldom even touch it.  The plastics made from flexible material and the circuit baord are well protected with layers of epoxy like glue to keep them from tearing a part.  I flew this heli almost everyday when i get bred inside my house just to keep up with my thumb skills if i'm not around with bigger 450 size heli,  Thumbs up to WL V911 micro heli.   Google for "WL V911" heli.  Got lots of positive review and its only USD$27. Hahahahaha...*laughing at TREX 100S and 100x*

My FPV Foamy Adventure - HK Tristania EPP

FPV bush flight

Here is another advantage flying a slow lightweight EPP foam plane.  Its so slow and so light my HK TRISTANIA @ TECHONE SPIRIT EPP foam plane with FPV system on board can easily navigate and fly narrowly above bushes, between trees, fields and places where r/c helicopter could have been.  Which is why this is one of  my favorite daily fun FPV plane.  Everyday i had a cool jungle adventure when i'm not on my mountain bike.  Still it needs skilled pilots to move around in such thight and low flying condition to avoid stall, crashes and any posibble low flying mishap.  Fourtunately i have tonnes of flight hours and got me some great flying skills, so no problem for this flying ace veteran. lol.  *Touch wood*

Slow FPV #3. FPV flying in safer way.

Been doing lots of thinking lately about the risk of flying a huge 1.2m over wing span over crowded places below especially when i'm on FPV (First Person View) flight mode which i know its not a good idea for adventure flight for long term.  The weight itself is a major concern since it can be alike brick falling from the sky above if it happens.  So i've made some research, studies and found a solution which can lead to safer and fun way to do some FPV adventure without huge risk of public damage property if my plane crashed or anything happen in the future.  
The solution:  Its a flexy 3D EPP foam 800mm winged sub 290gram super light weight profile plane (HK TRISTANIA EPP 3D @ TECHONE SPIRIT) equipped with lightweight nano FPV hardware that reduce any public damage if crash and safe enough to fly around public places and its very slow.  Check out my photos.  Its flexy, soft, soo lightweight, thin, slow, economical, easy maintenance, looks friendly, funny and have enough performance to fly anywhere, unlimited heights and required less space to land or you can grab it in the air.  Crash test shown it doesn't even cause serious damage to public property, animal or any living thing including people around it.    I've did lots of maiden flight with this EPP profile plane, it fun, entertaining 3D plane both to the pilot and the public and capable to fly low and slips though narrow places and places where normal planes though to be impossible and easily grab my hands on it while in the air.  Since i'm an adventurous mountain biker i took advantage to fly FPV with this and manage to discover new forest trails, terrains and discover cool places before i decided to jump on my mountain bike.  This is forever my favorite FPV plane.  Awesome and i'm glad to make this hobby a safer and adventurous activity.  More video coming soon on this EPP FPV flight.

HOBBY KING - BUSY BEE Glider plane

Would like to thank to our friendly local flier for giving away one of his used FPV plane as my first step towards flying an aeroplane. I made my successful first flight on FPV glider plane "Hobby King - BUSY BEE" without any problem only just minor noob on landing of course. Flying an a glider plane seem to be more relaxing and forgiving than my helicopter. I can enjoy much of the sky scenery with this. When i received this plane it was just bare kit, with servo, broken front gear and mess up physical appearance. I've paid extra for the brushless motor which is a good deal, I took two nights to refurbish and mods the aeroplane back to its best condition and finally it looks good on its fourth maiden flight in very gloomy windy morning...still the landing was a rough ride but acceptable.

=========================================

Despite having overall almost bad review over the internet about this pusher type glider plane i still think it has a decent handling yet i have no problem flying nor not much complain about how it flies...most probably i flew my helicopter pretty much manouver like an aeroplane which makes this flying more easier than i thought it would be. It flew sweet and just need to spent time to get to know it before i could tame into a friendly horse. Between my heli and this plane i have no intention to segregate them because both seem to have different role and ability in its very own field of expertise. Helicopter is thrilling + adrenaline while plane are mentally relaxing and sight seeing joy. Having both of them flying machine every afternoon put a huge smile for eternity. I will post some on board cam videos on this glider once i found a sweet spot to place it on the chassis.

My flight deck

I manage to get some super cheap (some are free) resources for my flying hobby and populate my room since i get myself some good bargain from close friends and local flyer rather than spending much over online shop which is 95% far cheaper, you can say i was walking around asking for bargain and the effort was paid off.  Never hurt to ask around. *wink*.  At the end of the day i got to enjoy my flying hobby without burning a hole in the pocket and still cheaper than spending a meal at fast food outlet, lol.  Now i got bunch of heliopters, kits, bulk load of parts and planes.  

Comparison to previous year where i used to enjoyed mostly on ground based models such as car, trucks, buggy both off-road and onroad models.  Shfiting myself to flying took me a big leap and change my perspective about this hobby.  Its far cheaper, less hassle to maintain, clean, super fun, very mature oriented hobby, more socialized activity and get to make friends with new crowds of people everyday.  This activity bring positive than cons. Thumbs up,

TAROT 450 SPORT helicopter

This is my third R/C Heli. A quality well know clone of ALIGN TREX 450 SPORT under the name TAROT branding.  Overall workmanship quality and built almost makes me wonder and asume both TAROT and ALIGN was made under the same factory.  Anyway it was cheaper by 50% getting a TAROT than ALIGN since both perform the same.  As for me if it flies good then it does the job well done. All blue alloy parts and quality carbon fiber built.

It was easy to fly, more stable and high precision in handling. I can do much stable acrobatic move in the air suc as loop, inverted, fast 360 flips, Immelman turn some stuff than what a HK450 GT (aka SE V2). Almost 95% of the parts in SPORTS interchangeable and usable in SE V2 and vice versa. Such improvement include bigger rotor disc, wider swash plate for acrobaticagility, frame mountain simplicity, narrow frame and less slop on the rotor head and tail rotor.

Flying everyday

Life is great these few months, every since i'm into flying R/C helicopter and joined groups of local flyers in town my everyday life seems to be more adventurous and interesting daily. Flying activity tooks a few slot in my daily time table but it doesn't affect my other interest and daily chores such as cycling, office working, surfing internet, family and friend socializing. With a good time management i able to enjoy my flying hobby before and after office hours. Was at time where i suppose to stuck in the traffic jam inside my car but now i spent time more on nearby flying field while awaiting for traffic jam to clear off before i drove home from and fro from work place on clear street. Smart eh?.
