Go Flight!

Ok so yeah , it wasnt my fault after all , we got the crystals changed and that took care of all the glitches. I heard that it was flying pretty good after that , I personally didnt dare to fly after the crash , didnt want to spoil Gohars’ fun again.

So after a couple of casual visits i decided to get back in the pilots seat . took the plane for a ride and it was pretty good. Managed to pull a couple of decent rolls and some pretty neat turns. Gohars first flight was an encouragement , he seems to do some neat tricks with the plane now. I think we both now know that this trainers days are numbered , we are hungry for some real tricky flying now , this one seems to have outlived our expectations.

Major Crash

Damn! Flying straight ahead and going for a turn , all of sudden the sticks stopped responding. The next thing i know i hear the plane hitting in the tree and my heart sinks , anticipating a complete mess but luckily it was not that bad. I was very angry and more angry cause every one thought , it happened cause i dont know how to fly!. My understanding was that there was a temporary radio interference , which we had noticed earlier as well when the plane went for a dip while flying straight. Later on Mr Adeem said this was very probable and he is now changing the servo and the receiver. Hopefully this wont happen again!

Khurram was around to witness the whole scene. Gohar and Haroon were on their way to the field. and when they got their , the plane had been rescued by then and i was trying to explain what happened , but no one really thought it was possible , until later on Adeem and the Hitec guys confirmed my suspicions. Gonna get the plane back on friday!

This is the first day we went for independant flight. the plane is just waiting for take off and we have our fingers crossed as to what may come of the day.

We didnt receive any training but we dared to fly it our selves , Gohar being the first one to take off and then land it successfully. Then i tried and it went pretty well. It was a good day over all. just a couple of scratches at the end of the day and a broken prop on the final landing probably cause of a glitch , thats what i think atleast , but every one else thinks otherwise :)
