  Ha, yup I am lucky, just found this one, she's a cracker. She first took the controls of the ladybird at 9pm, i had to drag her to bed at midnight. She's dying to have a go on the ardu! 

  Jacob frames here http://www.kkmulticopter.com/index.php?option=com_annonces&view...

  What is simple mode? :)

  Where do you buy the jacob frame Dave?

  So when you flyin the heli? sounds like good fun.. Never flown one but I know what the controls do?. I think if I bought my missus a Ladybird I would get a load of abuse :) You must be lucky Dave I still need to find a woman that has an interest in what I do? or at least pretend...

  I'm in Brum from info, if any of you are on your travels...

  Wicked simple mode example Dean, or if it ain't simple mode can i book some flying lessons please ;)  

  I love my tri, I'm starting to look at most of my quads as tri's with a spare arm and motor.

  A great place to start with a tri i reckon is the jacob frame, it's super light, fun to build - even teaches you a bit about flight dynamics, and very cheap to fix. I've had 4 different controllers on this frame now, and it makes me laugh every time. It's so light with an apm2 with standard jdrones 850 kit and 10*4.5 props I reckon it'll pull about 50 mph horizontally easy but still behave like a pussy cat at low revs. I suppose my lighter quads are a bit like this, but the tris have a certain something, especially if you put a halloween mask between the front two arms ;)

  And no I've not been flying in 2 weeks, instead been working 15 hours a day. Nice. It's gonna mean one hell of a hobbyking order though when I get my life back and then as a consequence a whole load of flying.

  The Missus has arranged for me to fly the real thing (well, conv. heli) for my birthday! Get in! (Don't tell her but I got her a ladybird to say thanks ;)

  It would be good to have you along Greg, or any other people local or from far, I crash best when I have people with me! :)

  Cheers Martin - seeing as most of the parts - and loads of helpful tips - came from you that'd be great. Don't think I can get down there this weekend but will let you know when it's possible. Thanks again for all your help..
