Flight of the Apache 2

After a disastrous mission, all system are GO again. 

Flight 2
Objectives: Lift off from ground, hover then land.
                     Moving left and right.

I headed to the flight site again hoping for better results. Apache is place on the site and controls are turned on.

Begining lift off... perfect! ( 4 feet of the ground )
Hovering... perfect but some adjustment needed to stabilize the heli.
Turn left and right... piece of cake
Landing... mayday! mayday! crashed.

I am happy with the results. Thinking of getting a spare battery cause charging takes an hour.

Flight 3 was cancelled after 1 minute of flight. Wind conditions are bad. Heli kept moving to the walls of the command center.

just cant wait to fly the sucker again. " Wind wind go away, come again another day "
