I managed to get some footage of me flying my 50 yesterday at my flying
club. Thanks to Mark for the camera work. The heli gods were on my side -
no crashes this time :-))

Very impressive!! Question is, do I feel inspired to persevere and improve
my flying skills, or pack it all in as I'm so hopeless?
Nah, think I'll keep on going :-)), maybe I'll get there one day!

Hang on in there Tim, it won't take you long to get to this level.
Determination is what it's all about and I still have a LONG way to go. You
should see what the good guys can do. There is a new teenage hot shot from
the states who's only been flying for 10 months. His flying makes mine look
utterly paps :-)

OK! I can go lower than that. I was a bit nervous knowing the camera was
aimed at me - I could feel it willing me to crash :-)
Still, there's always the next time...

Actually, the amount of spectators are directly proportional to
whether you totally screw it up, I find :-)
