| OK well I mistakenly got a vibe 50 a few months back and have only 2 flights on it as of today. Been flying my 700 most the time a 600NSP. And you guys say the 2mm G10 frame is stronger than the CF frame of a 600 you are wrong. And as for quality I am sorry I am not liking my Vibe 0 at all. Align is much better I must say. I was flying my Vibe for flight # 2 today and am breaking motor in. And I am in a hover about 5-10 feet up. Thats it just a low hover as I am breaking in motor. Well any ways Its hovering and next thing I know. Poof. The tail blades fly off. It went into a spin and I hit TH and did not have much head speed so it cam down but not to hard at all.
Any ways Damage is unreal. Broken 1 skid
All 4 break a ways for canopy mounts are broke
Looks like tail boom broke inside frame
Tail hub that holds grips and blades on tail brake on both sides. The shaft broke right off in flight. What the heck is that about
The Top stabilizer on tail broke??? Who knows how that broke
Canopy has a few dents where it hit the frame
I must say this heli is not holding up at all. At least with my 600 in a bad auto I may have to worry about some skids and that is it.
Look out for tail blades or whole tail blowing apart. I see another guy who's tail boom broke in flight. Not very happy with the quality of this heli at all. I must say my 600 NSP is way better. The Vibe dose track better and is not all over like the 600 but the 600 is for sure a better heli. I have never had anything come off the 600 and I have a lot of flights on it with 0 problems.
Has any one else had this problem with the tail blowing apart?? I may just fix it all as its not that much and sell it if its going to fall apart in flight like that?????
And this was not at all a build problem. The feathering shaft broke at both sides. I will take some pics of it and post very soon
