November 26, 20232 yr First flight in the Mi-17. Found it a bit wobbly but I dare say I'll get used to it. Had a quick look at the manual but didn't strike me as useful (for my purposes, anyway). I'm sure there'll be some youtubes on it before long so I might get some tips there. Out from 1G4 at the Canyon, off to Vegas. Bit of exploration around 1G4 as well, - nice little bit of scenery for under £4 in the sale. Anyway, enjoy - I like the look of most of the big old Soviet choppers, and this is no exception. And who knows, I might even get able to fly it smoothly. On this first flight it was very difficult to keep it steady and level, but then I found that with the Bell 47G originally and I'm reasonably comfortable with that now. Always feels like a muscle memory learning thing with choppers. And that becomes an issue of whether or not I have the patience.

November 26, 20232 yr Really nice exploration of the environs. (And the only way I could ever hope to get to both the top and the bottom of the canyon the same day. 🙂)
