GWS C-130 Hercules Maiden Flight

Here is the maiden flight of my recently near-finished GWS Cargotrans (C130 Hercules). I don't think it turned out too bad nor did I crash! I apologise for the shoddy flying and the one "f-bomb" I dropped. Whoops. It was a brilliant afternoon and I just knew I had to give 'er a go before it got packed up to move. My good friend Ken was manning the camera and did a great job considering he shot the whole thing zoomed-in and trying to walk in crusty snow. Thanks Ken! I was basically just trying to get the thing trimmed out and play around with power settings and decent rates. I have essentially taught myself to fly up to this poind just stepping up from Aero Aces, to a Parkzone Minimum Cessna 210, and now to this. She is pretty easy to handle, nothing too unpredictable and very scale-like. I have set it up with flaperon mixing but have yet to really play around with it. One step at a time, right? The battery is a 7.4v 1500mAh Lipo and has plenty of capacity and power for this bird. I can't wait to take her up for her second flight!
