First flight of the season

Today the weather was wonderful outside and I decided it was time to take my TRex-450 out for my first flights of the season.

There is still plenty of snow all over the place up here in Canada at this time of the year, but it's melting pretty fast these days and it's beginning to be hot enough to be able to stay outside bare-handed for a while without freezing!

It was about +12 celcius this afternoon and it was quite comfortable. The local neighborhood park where I normally fly my 450 was still covered with about 3-4 feet of snow, but I placed the heli in the street behind my car for takeoff and I flew over the snow while standing in the street :)

I flew my 2 packs and everything went very well. I was a little rusted after not flying (except for mCX and simulator) for a few months, but after a few minutes, I was back doing some mild 3D loops and flips.

Like often when I fly at this park, a few kids stopped by and watched me flying.

So my flying season is now officially opened!
