    Hey guys, James here from Mackay nth Qld. Been flying for about 3 years. I have a Compass chronos, trex600e pro and a 450L dominator. Still no goblin but this may change soon as the 500 sport is looking pretty sweet.

      Hey @smakmeharder I like to fly big loops and am starting to get down some inverted figure 8's and tic tocs left to right. I want to learn piro flips but cant get my head around it right now haha. I started out as mode 1 as I learnt on a cheap heli and didnt know about the different modes. Then once i started to advance and wanted to learn piro flips or transitions I realised it is very difficult on mode 1 so I bit the bullet after 2 years and changed to mode 2. It took me a good 3 months of sim work and a couple of months flying to relearn everything and to get rid of the old muscle memory. It sucked! But now im advancing so it has paid off.

      Hey @james your history sounds a bit like mine! I flew for 1 year on mode 1 then changed and went to mode 2. It drove me crazy during the transition. Now in learning piroflips its a case of breaking it down then stitching it together. There are some "different" tutorials on the piroflip on this forum and i recommend you watch them.
