rbort Elite Veteran Location: Franklin, MA - U.S.A.
| Arrived at 5pm to the fieldPut in 2 Spectra-g flights and 2 1005 flights for a total of over 1 hr in the air. Chatted with the fellas here and had some dinner with Bill and Brent at this nice lady's camper. Then went out and night flew the 450 6 flights, had one battery to go but on the 6th flight the damn belt snapped (always gets me) and it went into that fast pirouette thing. I pretty much leveled it and hit hold, and she came down like a shot pigeon, bounced once and laid down. I got there to find the blades survived along with the canopy, flybar and boom. Damage is lower frames cracked, belt gone, and one of the tail blade grips bent (need a new screw)? Unclear whether the mainshaft is bent or not, will have to roll it on the table to be sure.
Will be back tomorrow to burn some gas and put some good hours on the gassers knowing that Saturday could be a no-fly zone day.
See you guys in the AM!!
