Cool, Cool flying, you find music makes you smoother?
Simon

 

Well I find it gives me purpose. I try to find songs that fit my mood, or my goal for the flight... sometime I just let the ipod shuffle and take what I get... other times I build a playlist to suit my plan...

Today was a Queen day? Their Rock Opera makes for pretty great build up, and climatic finishes. Dave Mathews Band has some good stuff to fly to also.

I really try to mold the flying to the music, but it doesn't always work out

 

Queen worked with the first flight for sure

Tragic about the 600 mate but that ceremonial 450 TNC dance over the top to ward away crash from your field was beautiful.
Sniff sorry just wiping the tears away. Nice work mate.

 

Thats funny as man ... i hope he stays away now..

 

That was gold!

Well I am all loaded up to head to the field, so we will see if crash is still lurking?

 

Good luck , dude...

 

So far so good!

 

Well I made it out all in one piece

 

Very nice, again, the Queen worked with that flight rather well, Old Chap. The synergy between the music and the flight is a reason I would watch this clip more than a few times. I really liked it. All I can say, to fellow thread readers is turn up the music, full screen the video and get on board the groove train. Good job mate.

Thank Simon! I had to play that song, it is the very song that was playing when crash took my 600! I should have flown the Logo on that flight, but she is pretty dusty, and I wanted to fly her a few times before she hits center stage! The 450L did a pretty good job, man that little gal is made for big air! wish my eyes were! LOL

 

It's funny, I have just watched the video for the third time... LOL... I did note you put the one vision track on the flight, same as the 600 esc meltdown. (was it the esc?) . All I can say is keep 'em coming @William . I am really enjoying your corner of HeliGods
Simon
ps Nice audio mix between music and blade noise. If you put it on your mp3 player, you would be transfixed, wondering what maneuvers were going on, and subliminally getting ramped up by the music, I might just give that a go.

 

The 600 has a Jive 80HV and it was making no blinks, I had one satellite blinking but the other was solid, I have not torn it down yet, but the post crash inspection did find a loose fitting motor bullet... I am hopeful that's the cause! I have one crash kit left for the old 600CF super conversion, the heli was first built in 2008, so she has been around a while!

 

I think @simon that music adds an extra dimension to your flying, ie you try to find a natural rhythm. Just another great but subtle variation to an incredible hobby where there is always something new to learn or try.

 

Just Curiously William, How often do you get a chance to fly?

 

I fly three or four days a week, and I live in a semi tropical environment, so that is pretty much year round.
