Haha LOS from this perspective looks nasty

However i would recommend to not fly around yourself... (yeah i seen that close call ) instead i would stay at the side of the field, with the sun / building in your back. You could make better use of the field that way and not risk hitting yourself.

I don't wanna sound like an old teacher here, but that's how i learned myself with helicopters, trying to keep it as safe as possible, kind of how you would have to fly on a club flying field, i.e. stay behind the (imaginary) flight line and don't cross it with your aircraft.

What you say makes total sense, and I don´t take it on the wrong way no worries !

The sun doesn´t help at all to be honest, but I´ll follow your advise tomorrow when I fly again !

Thanks for the tip !

I agree with being safe, although admittedly I've been taking more risks than I should myself.

Definitely some good flying there though

Yeah really cool to watch, especially liked the endless rolls

thank you guys, I´m getting there (slowly)

maybe the next move should be FPV fly !
you guys don´t do much  LOS right ?

Since i started FPV my helis do nothing but collect dust lol... Recently i did a bit LOS again with a small wing, it's fun because that thing simply can't break

I'm happy with FPV and never did much LOS... But you do make it look like fun!

I have the goggles and I tried to do FPV, my biggest challenge in fact is the real feel of altitude, basically how high I am, any recommendation for this ?

Yeah it's difficult to judge height over an empty field. What helps are small obstacles to fly around so you can use them as orientation... some trees etc.

Got some good control there, quite impressive for 3 months!
I've started with FPV and never flew much LOS.
For some reason my mind just can't get around it

+1 to What fftunes said, also don't be afraid to start with a lower camera angle when you're starting out, or even forever for that matter if you're just flying freestyle and don't care about speed. If it wasn't for my recent interest in flying faster I probably would stick with just over 20 degrees (roughly guesstimated as 1/16 of a full rotation). 

Another thing is don't be afraid to stay 50-100 ft in the air as you're learning. Get the feel for flying around FPV before you start working on flying low the the ground.

That makes total sense Carl, I don´t need to stay low at the begging. good point ! thanks
