Once you get the hang of it you can fly from a 30x30 area with the AXN.

As you might have seen in my "low and slow" videos (XJet channel), I can fly the AXN in very tight circles at low speed and low altitude. As for landing, you *can* land while turning -- which makes operating out of small spaces even easier.

Maybe I should do a "*how to* fly low and slow with the AXN" video

"Going low & slow" for dummies would be greatly appreciated.
Not blaming you but your original low & slow vid convinced me to go the AXN route after my disasterous venture with a 450 heli (I have the spares for a possible rebuild but would require matrimonial approval to fulfill, she doesn't want to see another ambulance at the door)

On the other hand I would not like to see you take time away from the FPV packback project, too many people are waiting, and the result is what will drive me to the next level.
Whilst I have the fiscal ability I will bump, bounce and crash my way to fulfillment, with people like yourself and others on this forum providing little guiding steps and the challenge to achieve higher levels.
Good grief I need a drink am getting all tired and emotional.

Right now I'm up to my ears in PC parts and tissues. My main PC has taken a dump

Locks up after about 2-3 minutes of operation.

What a PITA!

LMAO I'm on facebook, google and some other so-called social networks, but this is my favourite place for a good giggle with like minded nutters...

I took AXN MkII out today and had a plethora of errors. I could not get it to fly straight it was banking right. When I tried to bank left it was sluggish or just non-responsive, but the servos work fine. I have extended the throws on the transmitter and I am not sure what to do to get it flyable again. There are some very urgent repairs that need to be done like a hole chewed out mid way down the aft shaft where the motor detached from the mounting.

Please look below at the new advert for the AXN. I think it is on a forum called GumTree...

Sorry to hear that Bruce - here's my all round PC repair kit cost $14.00 and works 100% of the time.

I first used it after my old laptop kept beating me at chess - turns out it wasn't so good at croquet!!!

Got a special post running for you to get rid of the tissues, hope you are taking notice

On the PC issue (and I believe you are running a P4) try pulling out the RAMs and cleaning the contacts with a plain old pencil rubber. Works everytime in high rainfall areas.
Your would know more than I would about these things but that's my 2c

Watched your vid, now I'm suffering from vertigo AND your making me jealous.

You got ripped on your computer tool, bought mine as a percussion adjuster and only cost $7

Yes I know, good old YouTube "fixed" the shake... nuf said! I'll post the original and delete the so-called improved version later tonight.

And the price will always double when it is for anything computer...

Yes I'm sure YOU can fly in a 30x30 area, but I'd hardly call you a beginner Bruce, lol.
