Long term sufferer and Silly Fokker RC daughter Lisa Roberts has been dragged around the model flying field for a couple of years now and has only been allowed on the sticks a couple of times (assisted) as we are all novice flyer's and in no position to teach someone (that's the excuse we've been using)
While out flying the other day Lisa asked if she could fly my (newly built) Tricopter..... Hmmm a difficult one this =\
If I said no I would definitely be upsetting her, however if I said yes I could be saying goodbye to my new toy. What would you do in this situation?
I prepared myself for the worst and handed over the radio to our new pilot wannabee and cringed as I looked at my new toy leaping in to the air.
So..... it was not graceful or all intended movement in the sky but it was controlled and on the whole very good for someone that has never flown.
I promised Lisa there and then that I would take her out the next day with six fully charged 3s 2200mah batteries and let her practice. The idea was to meet up later that day with her dad (who was completely unaware that Lisa can fly) and suprise him.
Here is the video from that day. It was heart warming seeing my best mate Ivor and his daughter together on the flightline watching her fly for the first time =)
I hope you enjoyed that as much as I did.
