Today’s Flying

Today was a great day of flying. I was flying with Matt Botos today, great guy by the way. I was having issues with the head speed on my Venture 30 being too slow. Well Matt got a hold of it and corrected my issues by fixing the pitch on the blades, basically the engine couldn’t keep up with the pitch, so with adjusting some of the head linkages this was corrected. He also setup my idle up, not for 3d or anything but I now have a linear pitch curve with idle up being almost a straight line, 100 90 85 90 100. This greatly improved the responsiveness of the heli and made flying it much more enjoyable. Also, with the linear pitch curve (-8 to +11) the heli now comes down a lot easier.

Overall, a great day. I learned more today than I have since I started the hobby. I’m really looking forward to my next day of flying, I don’t know when that’ll be, but I’m still looking forward to it.
