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...
