Brief post-repair flight of my Wltoys V913 4-Ch. Sky Dancer Single Blade R/C Helicopter 10-23-15
Flight took place over a lot near the intersection of Ellinor Ave. and Puget St. in Shelton WA. USA on the morning of
10-23-15 (or, "2015 23 Oct." or even, "October 23, Twenty Stick-Bent-Stick" if you prefer).
Weather conditions at flight time were low clouds (ceiling of ~200 feet {~61M}; very probably IFR for real pilots; VFR for
R/C pilots), temperature of 44°F (6.6°C), and winds reported as being clam.
L'un peu gros chemisier d'âne (mais pas wastoid total!) dans le pantalon noir, la chemise bleu foncé et la chemise de sueur
à capuchon verte que vous voyez est le pilote - moi évidemment {The somewhat fat asshaberdasher (but not total wastoid!) in
the black pants, dark blue shirt, and green hooded sweatshirt that you see is the pilot -- me of course}. ;-)
The heli shook quite noticeably; leading me to believe that the main rotor shaft is slightly bent. I do have a replacement
on hand, but I will likely require a bit of coaching from somebody on http://www.rcgroups.com/ before I can change it out.
The heli crashed into overhead power lines, causing the canopy to disengage, the flight battery to break free (the
"U"-shaped clamp that holds it in became broken on both sides where it attaches, but I can easily tape the battery into the
battery pan), and the tail rotor busted -- but again, I have a spare on hand.

Very brief flight of my Wltoys V913 4-Ch. Sky Dancer Single Blade R/C Helicopter 10-03-15
Flight took place over a vacant lot near the intersection of Ellinor Ave. and Summit Dr. in Shelton WA. USA on the morning
of 10-03-15 (or, "2015 03 Oct." or even, "October 03, Twenty Stick-Bent-Stick" if you prefer).
Weather conditions at flight time were clear, temperature of 44°F (6.7°C), and winds reported as being from the SSW at 1mph
(0.865kts, 1.61kph).
El "vacío del pene algo gordo" (cabrón de mierda) en los pantalones negros, camisa roja y chaqueta a cuadros gris & blanca
que ve es el piloto - mí por supuesto} {The somewhat fat "penis vacuum" (fV¢k!n6 ¢0¢K$V¢K3R) in the black pants, red shirt,
and grey & white checkered jacket that you see is the pilot -- me of course}}. ;-)
The heli crashed directly into a telephone pole, causing the canopy to disengage, the flight battery to fly out, the flybar
to become broken, and two of the connect buckles to pop off & become lost. As a direct result, I can no longer fly this bird
until I order & receive replacement connect buckles & a replacement flybar. :-(

Brief flight of my Wltoys V913 4-Ch. Sky Dancer Single Blade R/C Helicopter 10-01-15
Flight took place over a vacant lot near the intersection of Ellinor Ave. and Summit Dr. in Shelton WA. USA on the morning
of 10-01-15 (or, "2015 01 Oct." or even, "October 01, Twenty Stick-Bent-Stick" if you prefer).
Weather conditions at flight time were partly cloudy with dense fog in the vicinity (visibility less than 200 feet {61
meters}; IFR for real pilots; VFR for low-altitude R/C pilots), temperature of 49°F (9.4°C), and winds reported as being
clam.
L'un peu gros fagot dans le pantalon bleu foncé et la veste à carreaux grise & blanche en haut passée comme un éclair que
vous voyez est le pilote - moi évidemment {The somewhat fat F46607 in the dark blue pants and zipped-up grey & white
checkered jacket that you see is the pilot -- me of course}. ;-)
This is on the heels of the heli's ill-fated maiden flight in which the heli power-dived (with "help" from a STRONG gust of
wind) into the street and threw three of its connect buckles; the replacements arrived yesterday afternoon and I wasted no
time in installing them with the assistance of a photograph furnished by holtneil of blankwww.rcgroups.com (thank you
holtneil!!!) :-)
The flight terminated in a rather spectacular crash which caused the canopy to go flying, busted the battery mount, and
busted the tail rotor -- but thank Christ that it didn't throw any connect buckles, so I'll be able to make another flight.
