| Yesterday I was practising inverted auto's.
Had been doing quite a few without any problems until...
I was about 75ft off the ground with plenty of blade and forward speed, rolled upright and bang, the whole head came off as I watched, quite shocked really.
When I went over to retrieve the model I found that plastic in the head had let go and torn one side away from around the bolt that attatched to the main shaft.
The damage was suprisingly little, the worst part about it was that my mate who was there filming me for the prior flight didn't capture it on camera!
Any one else had problems like this?
Whats the general opinion of this chopper, good or bad?
Regards,
Andrew. |
