Tail Shaft 5.00

total If I had bought new Landing gear 163.00
Glad the electronics were fine.. I have just layed the machine over a couple of times on it's side and just got away with the usual.. Blades and flybars.... Something to be said about flying in tall soft grass.. The metal usually will bend, but you must check your crash parts carefully, because a bad part sometimes can be difficult to spot... My recommendation is go the carbon fiber route.. a little bit lighter and if the part is not obviously broken, Chances are it's fine to reuse..
