It's been a while since I've flown (about 2 years) and as expected, I was a little rusty. Given the 20+ years I've been flying R/C helicopters, I expected to pick up where I left off... NOT! There was a time when my 3-D work was approaching the level in the link below, although today it wasn't... and tomorrow's not looking very good either.

This is my TSK BlackShark. Not a machine for 3-D, but for FAI precision flying. I also use it for top-speed competitions. Best speed on radar was 103 mph... coming out of dive, downwind, low on fuel. Today, it basically hovered. Then I sat down. Had a drink. Stopped shaking. And I was done.
