how to crash your heli in one flight or less. just give &&&vic777 a pm and he will give you personal instruction free. this is a humor thred not intended to hurt. tell your story here.

2 days before christmas, and i have accumulated over 200 flights on 3 different helis. flying my N9 and tearing it up, tail slide 50mph straight into the dirt. ok no biggie, so fire up the logo and lose orientation (this never happens) BLAM another one in the dirt. no biggie, so the out comes the trex,should have gone home, damn if I didnt brovic that SOB after only 4 min.. it was a bad weekend. but you got to laugh because its only a toy and no one got hurt, and gravity still rules.

did i mention it was christmas? I am just now at the point where all the parts are here the 3 gyros are still out but there is 2 dissasembled logos on the shelf. got 1 rex finished and 1 synergy waiting for gyro. the gyros, 2 611 and 1 401 were NFG needed 1 LCD disply and 1 new amp and 1 new sensor, total repair of gyros $389.I think I'll start fishing and get one of them Bass boats, costs about the same.

heres my story,

ok so im flying my dads 450 and I lose the tail servo,ok now what?CRASH.very little damage,ok that parts good.

A few weeks later I get it all put back together,take it for its test flight and it has a wierd noise ok,so I take it up again to try and figure it out and then the heli decides it doesnt want its tail blades anymore,but I manage to land with out further damage..


so after all that (heres the make you wana cry part) I fix it all up a few weeks later and take her out to the field,start the flight going beatiful in the hovers no vibes no trim,no noises,nothing just beautiful. ok so I start fff in my first banking turn about 10 feet up prabably 20-30 mph.LOCK-OUT (yes this is a spectrum horror story lol) so it banked downward and hit nose first HARD heres the list

frames,spindle,mainshaft,blades,blade grips,flybar,paddles,gyro case,linkages,gear,battery,3 servos,a few misc control arms,canopy,tail blades,and it cut the wires on the esc(cc 35).

It would have been MUCH worse if the head and tail werent mostlly metal. this was by far my worst crash (and Ive crashed rappys before)..but I got a feeling thats gunna change since I bought a 600n pro

And yes I did copy and paste this from another thread cuz I was to lazy to re-write it all(forgive me) lol
