I got a new Vigor CS with all the trimmings and botched an auto half way through the third tank.

Boom, drive shaft, tail shaft, tail hub, blades (big and little) spindle, and pride.

That is why they call then HELLicopters I guess. It would be easier to still be married.

Hi Ivan -

Sorry to hear of your damaged heli. It is a specter we all face, when we challenge Mother Nature, with our wimpy little machines.

Easier to replace a hurt heli, than a bad spouse - Take it from one who knows.

When the time comes and you get a good one - take good care of it/her.

How much?I go about $300-$400 per Vigor crash.

Actually the only reason I have the Vigor is because I lost my spouse. Long story, but if she were still in the picture I would have had to repair the shuttle.

This was about a $250 crash. Worst part was the V's. I have had a couple sets that actually cut the tail clear off and the blades were fine. These didn't fare as well.

I have parts ordered. thinking of using the low end Mavriks, since it is so easy to destroy them, until I get a feel for the responsiveness of the machine.
