More snow since has no doubt covered it - I'll have to wait for the thaw. I wonder if a sounder fitted to the tail rotor control would help?]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>...and found&#x21;</title><dc:creator>mcmikey@mac.com</dc:creator><dc:subject>Welcome</dc:subject><dc:date>2007-02-01T21:38:26+00:00</dc:date><link>http://homepage.mac.com/mcmikey/ele-copter/blog1/files/8cba9348ebfb086ac06be7640f500b8c-4.html#unique-entry-id-4</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://homepage.mac.com/mcmikey/ele-copter/blog1/files/8cba9348ebfb086ac06be7640f500b8c-4.html#unique-entry-id-4</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[After 4 days I found the Dragonfly - in a group of trees by a slate tip. No damage sustained. A quick battery change and off she flew! I thought about making a strobe light to run off the main battery. I'll have to give that some thought...]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Lost&#x21;</title><dc:creator>mcmikey@mac.com</dc:creator><dc:subject>Welcome</dc:subject><dc:date>2007-01-28T21:13:56+00:00</dc:date><link>http://homepage.mac.com/mcmikey/ele-copter/blog1/files/4465f2c3ecd1ee364fcbdcd0eaff16ee-3.html#unique-entry-id-3</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://homepage.mac.com/mcmikey/ele-copter/blog1/files/4465f2c3ecd1ee364fcbdcd0eaff16ee-3.html#unique-entry-id-3</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Finished the new helmet cam and decided to take it out for a test after work.

Still, as soon as I got home I took the Dragonfly up the hill for a quick flight before dusk really set in. Lovely flight - on the set up at the moment it spins on  full throttle but let the throttle down a notch and it flies is large circles - perfect! I tried filming with the scalp-cam but had it set too high alas. Still, development of the helmet cam proceeds apace.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Syma 47G-4A Test Flight</title><dc:creator>mcmikey@mac.com</dc:creator><dc:subject>Welcome</dc:subject><dc:date>2007-01-24T22:54:13+00:00</dc:date><link>http://homepage.mac.com/mcmikey/ele-copter/blog1/files/fd7cfb8dc708e9c92d1529865c5f3fcf-1.html#unique-entry-id-1</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://homepage.mac.com/mcmikey/ele-copter/blog1/files/fd7cfb8dc708e9c92d1529865c5f3fcf-1.html#unique-entry-id-1</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Today looked promising and I need to get a flight in to add to the review. Went up to the quarry this morning where it was fairly sheltered and tried out the 47G. Why do I try test flights in an environment of rocks?? The first flight wasnt  brilliant - lots of spinneys and I didn't take the right screwdriver to adjust the pot. It landed fairly roughly and I didn't check the rotor head assembly before I had a second go - evidently something jammed up because when I opened the throttle for the second flight the helicopter tipped over and the rotor head exploded! I still haven't found all the bits... I still haven't found any spares on the 'net either.There is another heli on ebay though so I might have to bite the bullet and get another one just to finish the review. I reckon round about May time if the present rate of progress is anything to go by.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Introduction</title><dc:creator>mcmikey@mac.com</dc:creator><dc:subject>Welcome</dc:subject><dc:date>2007-01-24T22:52:22+00:00</dc:date><link>http://homepage.mac.com/mcmikey/ele-copter/blog1/files/1885b513e53acd52338989547688d811-0.html#unique-entry-id-0</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://homepage.mac.com/mcmikey/ele-copter/blog1/files/1885b513e53acd52338989547688d811-0.html#unique-entry-id-0</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[OK, I've decided to start a blog to record the slow moving events at ele-copter.co.uk...
