Hello fellows, and ladies!

I thought it might be fun to start a thread for a place to showcase your new move!

In this hobby it seems we are always trying to learn a new maneuver or create a fancy new trick.

Sometimes it's just as simple as learning to fly a backward circuit... Other times people are learning to do the Mirk Doogle dismount auto rotation piro revers whoopie-doo!

At the moment I am trying to nail down skids in four point tic tocs, right rudder piro flips, and increasing my rotation rate on left rudder piro flips, to try and add spins, like double and triple piros per...

I normally tension my main blades on my 700 very tight, so tight its almost impossible to move. My tail blades are also tight as well. Should blades be tensioned so tight? what the disadvantage of using tight blade grips? Can you damage the blades? I have had several boom strikes when using medium main blade tension on my 550 so now i tension it right up!

How's this for a "How to piss off (potential)customers" guide:

I needed a small part for my DJI 550 project. There were only 1 or 2 retailers in Aus (plenty O/S) that had it and it was only $12 so I thought I'd buy locally (Aust) to get it quicker.

I hadn't bought from either store so it was a good opportunity to try a new store. I only order a small item from a new store to test service and delivery etc.

Makes sense to me not to spend much till you've tested the water so to speak.

Anyway, got to the checkout screen and got a message telling me that I needed a subtotal spend of...
