Testing the Trex

I have been seeing a little wobble in my Trex when it is hovering, it comes and goes, I have tried lots of things to get it settled down.  This morning I got an ad from Heli Direct with some upgrade parts on sale.  I went out to the shop to see if there was slop in those parts, while I was checking it, I noticed that one part was assembled wrong.  After I fixed that, it is steady as a rock and I was able to undo some of the changes I had made.  Then for some reason, the tail rotor drive belt came loose.  I put it back on and flew one flight, but I did not like the way the belt was tracking, luckily, I had a new one.  After I installed it, the Trex is flying great.  Vera opened the door a little and took a couple of pictures of that last test flight without me knowing it, that was a pleasant surprise and I have a picture for my blog.  You can probably tell that I am really concentrating on the helicopter!   I also got the small pond cleaned up today, then I did some trimming on the blueberries, heather and California Lilac.  We were surprised this evening when Michelle and James showed up, one of their friends John had lost interest in his helicopter and gave it to me.  Michelle had picked it up tonight, so James got to do some driving practice when they brought it up.
