First off this is a picture of a Hummingboard that caught on fire in the middle of a hover in my livingroom, 2nd this is a post to tell all the people out there about the Great Customer service at Century, I run a website and love Century products and this is the first real problem I have ever had with any radio controlled gear, while flying in my living room my motor just froze and down went the heli from about 5 feet off the ground, then poof the little Hummingboard caught on fire, i grabbed the heli and quickly pulled the battery off and pulled the canopy off and put the fire out before It did any real harm.



I then contacted Century even sent them a picture of what had happened and within a couple of hours got a email back from ther tech dept. I did more testing of all the gear with another board and found that the short had also burned out my new Head hold gyro, talking to Century they are sending me a new Board and Gyro..

Thanks Century & heliworld for the outstanding Customer service.
