Went flying today and was doing some loops, rolls, flips and inverted flight.. Well my last flight i went out a little too far and looped and went into a roll and i lost it..the heli went down knife edge...the whole crash is going to cost me about 60 dollars in parts and another 40 for blades.

raptorkid, you have a point there... My crash happened near the end of the last tank of the day...

My Raptor is almost ready to go again! $250 (Cdn) later...

Cant wait to get my FMA co-pilot!

Don't say it's my last flight for the day. Chances of crashing increases. Just fly and then pack up after that.

Summer must have arrived, more flying = more crashes.

I've put about 3 gallons through my cheap stock Raptor 30 and have had no problems either (except for me crashing it, which wasn't the fault of the heli)...

I believe I got what I paid for...

I really hope you guys arent sad about spending 100-200 bucks on a crash! my average crash cost for my vigor cs is about 300...thats a normal...and bad crash it 400, and a unlucky crash is about....never mind. it gets expensive! i just crashed the vigor and i spent 200 bucks...and that wasnt on blades, flybar, or main shaft! it was little things!

Don't use autopilot... you won't learn nothing.
Rather spend more time with simulator.
