Learn to Fly 3d RC Helicopters

During my 600L build i did some rather intensive bench testing of my servos and during this found that out of the box the 855 was making chattering noises around mid range. Suspected gear issues.

I also noted that the cyclic servos sounded very different when aileron or elevator inputs where commanded when compared to just pitch inputs.

Both of the issues above were evident when servos were connected to gpro and futaba receiver as well as when directly connected to receiver also (no gpro).

Here are some videos from my testing. (turn volume up to hear servo noise issues)...
This in my opinion is possibly one of the best flights to music ever...

Basically it states that if you own your house you are not obliged to pay rates according to the Australian Constitution... Thoughts?
Was great to see this new competition come to the BMFA Nationals. Very entertaining for those watching to see the skills of the pilots. I captured some of the action. Enjoy!
