My heli bike and flying field

Here are some pictures of my heli bike and flying field in Haga Park:)

My bike with 2 basket carrying helis

Parking in the flying field

Left basket: Trex 450 Pro; Right basket: Trex 250, DX6i, batteries

DX6i and carrying bag on bottom, and case with batteries

Trex 450 Pro and Trex 250, and their carrying cases

Small flying field, my favorite place to fly because it is free of people most of the time, and less people pass by

View from side

Panoramic view

Bigger flying field, I was here once in last autumn when my small flying field occupied
