How gutted am I?<BR/>A. Very, no extremely!<BR/>Q. Why?<BR/>A. My Firebird Commander 2 arrived today. It took only around 2 minutes to put together, and two and half hours to charge. I eagerly awaited the moment when I took to the sky, however my experience did not really go according to plan.<BR/><BR/>I went to my local park, found a unoccupied field, checked the windspeed, put on my sun glasses, conducted the final checks, took off my sun glasses, extended the aerial, full throttle, gave a nice level throw into the wind, and hey, I was flying. Now, lets turn...erm...it id not really like driving an r/c car, I went to turn left but nothing, and right, even less. I reduced the throttle and tried again, perfect. So around two minutes later, I thought, this is not so difficult, even though I was walking around the field aimlessley following a semi out of control r/c glider, and then it happened. A 60ft oak tree suddenly appeared from nowhere, jumping out in front of my glider. Bang! whirly gravity falling sound, boom! The rear tail and rudders disintergrated...my smile was wiped firmly from my face. Dejected and down, I loaded the remains into my Jeep and drove the short distance home. Joking aside, despite being able to fly until tomorrow, I was amazed by how little the FC2 was damaged really. A quick search on the internet found the replacement part will only set me back £6-8...so I will be soon endangering more Oak trees in my area soon! Watch out and good luck. Lessons learned the hard way!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29142215.post-1157465118394995082006-09-05T07:05:00.000-07:002006-09-05T07:05:00.000-07:00Not bad, good Blog!
