Thank you very much for your kind words and best greetings!

Great and beautiful the new airfield ¡

[@RCCopterLove]

@arturosierra413 Thank you very much! I am very lucky that I was discovering this place. I am living in Silesea: Industrial area, very crowded, very little free space. I was searching for 3 years! Best greetings!

Very nice field to fly and your are doing very well. Thank you.

[@RCCopterLove]

@QC Kurt Thank you! It's a very different flying if you don't have to worry about powerlines oin one side and tight and limited space on the other. It is so much more fun!! Best Greetings!

BEAUTIFUL new flying site Matthias!! Your M4 Max is very happily setup!! I'm sure you already know this but, to help with your loops, add a bit more negative collective pitch at the inverted portion. It will help to make your loops larger and less scary when you exit out the bottom!! :-) Take care my friend!!

[@RCCopterLove]

@rickhayes Thank you very much, Rick! I am trying to find the right amount of negative pitch at the top when inverted and the right moment/timing. The great thing is: if the loop is really pretty round and big all has to come together: speed, amount of pos collective when going up, negative pitch timing.... There is so much to learn. On this new field it is so great to fly! Thank you for all advise and all the best to you!

Flying so much better pal - really making great progress indeed!! very well done sir! You are also correct that where you fly, the 'vista' per se, is incredibly important to exude confidence.

[@RCCopterLove]

@HeliShed Thank you my friend! Yes, it is unbelievable how much bad habits one can get because of not appropiate space to fly and how much more free I feel now on this new beautiful field with the right symmetric shape! I hope I can go there for as long as possible!! Best greteings and thanks for all support!!

[@mikeisiah1091]

Very nice field it should be called The Field of Dreams enjoy

[@RCCopterLove]

@mikeisiah1091 Thank you very much, Mike! Yes You are absolutely right! I will name it from now on the Field of Dreams!! Best gretings and happy flights!

Schön dass du besser wirst, nur als Tipp, bei den Loopings besser etwas negativ Pitch nützen dann kannst du den Looping größer und schöner machen.

[@RCCopterLove]

@simmisimsonsk Danke fuer den Tipp. Ich probiere schon eine Weile negativ pitch zu geben. Das Timing des richtigen Moments ist alles andere als einfach und ich habe eine Menge Training vor mir! Aber das ist, was so liebe! Beste Gruesse. Uebung macht den Meister!

[@simmisimsonsk]

@@RCCopterLove es reicht auch schon nur Pitch etwas zurück nehmen:) ja Übung macht den Meister 👍

[@RCCopterLove]

@@simmisimsonsk Ich habe lange den Fehler gemacht, beim Reinfliegen in den Loop zu wenig positive pitch zu geben und eigentlich nur mit dem Elevator den Loop einzuleiten. Seitdem ich deutlich mehr positv pitch in der "Aufflugphase" gebe, werden die Loops viel groesser und runder... und ich muss natuerlich oben auf der "Spitze" mehr collective pitch rausnehen. Das Experimentieren und Rumprobieren macht mir total viel Freude!! Donnerstag Abend kommt ein neues Video! Habe vieel geuebt!!

[@frisos3944]

I can see you are nervous coming out of the loop. You don’t want to slam it into the ground. I recognize that. What helped me was trusting my elevator in stead of my collective pitch. You can also fly past your self and then start your loop. That way you do the loop from tail in to nose in to tail in. Very nice field by the way. I’m jealous. Around here every field is owned by a farmer and prohibited to fly.

[@RCCopterLove]

@frisos3944 Thank you for the good tips! I will try this step by step. For sure my whole collective pitch management during loops, flips and rolls is still bad. All happenes so fast and so many things have to be done and controlled in one single moment! That's the the most challenging in flying collective pitch helis - and what makes it so beautiful: The endless learning!! Sorry for your field situation. I was searching 3 years until I found this field 7 km from my home.

Wow, what a beautiful day and place! Great practice Matthias! I'm re-thinking my flying a bit. I'm still in the front yard, as I'm looking for a WHOLE new place to fly where there are little to no people around. Anyway, I used to always just "Go Fly", and I think for a time it worked. I think it's something every novice goes through, while practicing. I'm now planning my flights out. By that I mean, I have a plan set in place that I want to implement. I don't just want to put the Heli down, lift off and fly. I now want to put the first pack or 2 through it, just doing Yaw turns with little to no collective, along with controlling the speed of the Heli more, keeping it slow. Packs three and 4 I want to start gaining more speed, and practicing harder on left and right banking turns where I'm at close to 90 degrees as I'm pulling pretty hard on the collective, but keeping the turns smooth. Sort of a "Back to basics" approach. I think this will help with the inverted and everything else. I'm getting closer to making my right turns as smooth as my left ones. On the sim I'm practicing a LOT of right hand turns.

[@RCCopterLove]

@AnythingEverythingRC This is a very good strategy! I was "just flying around" for too long. Now I am always going back to basics. Practicing flips and rolls as smooth as possible, working on collective pitch management. It's a very good learning method to focus on selected points until they get better. Step by step is the better way to make progress than wanting all steps at one moment. Very good. I feel that since I am doing this my flying gets "cleaner" and smoother. Patience is a very important thing in heli flying! Symmetry is all!! Congratulations and hapy flights!!

[@AnythingEverythingRC-rc1yc]

@@RCCopterLove It's so cool that every time we talk, and you make videos, we seem to be progressing in much the same ways. Our history with Heli's aligns almost perfectly. LOL

[@RCCopterLove]

@@AnythingEverythingRC-rc1yc Yes, very often we seem to come to the same conclusions! I wish you great progression in the details!!

Hello Matthias You found a very nice and quiet place. I wish you lots of cool flights at this spot. A question: Do you have a field-battery (big LiIon or car-battery) to recharge your LiPos between the flights on the place? Sunny greetings from Switzerland to Poland Reto

[@RCCopterLove]

@Jupi-aladin Thank you very ,much! I love this new spot and met already the farmer who owns the field. He allowed me to fly there! So I hope I can return there for a very long time. I am having many batteries (enought for a loong flight session) and I am charging them the day before. Quite slow: my 6S 2000 and 2200 mAh batts with less than 1 C (1,5 A) and they like it. All my 6S, 3S and 2S batteries are having hundrets of cycles u under their belt and all cells are balanced, resistance is OK, I also only charge to 4,15 volt. Some 3s batteries I am using since 2021!! Best greetings to Switzerland!!

[@jupi-aladin]

Wau, then you must have really plenty of batteries and probably chargers. An other point, that I'm wondering: What is the flight-weight of your M4 Max, with batteries?

[@RCCopterLove]

@@jupi-aladin Yes, I have 10 batteries for my M4 and M4 Max and each 10 for my M2's and M1's. So enough "ammunition" to get my brain cooked before I have flown all batteries on one day. 3 Chargers are working hard. My M4 Max weights flight ready with battery 1520 gramm. Without battery and tray 1180 gramm. The M4 is about 170 gramm lighter. Best greetings and happy flights!

[@jupi-aladin]

@@RCCopterLove Thank you very much for all this information. It is very interesting for me to know how others do it. I have only 3 batteries for my M2 Evo, but a field-charger and a larger LiIon-battery to charge on the field. I wish you happy flights too

[@RCCopterLove]

@@jupi-aladin Thank you! Yes it's interesting that almost everyne has a different approach.
