[killirishred]

is this jasmine from phoenix simulator? nice flyin. i know how that crash feels!

[jasmine2501]

@killirishred Yeah that's me... at least I got the heli fixed and it still flies good.

Thank you for show me the exact stick movements to replicate this spectacular stunt!!!But at the moment I just make translation flight whit my T-Rex 250, jeje!!!

Ahhh, thank you for making me buy 1 year ago that little beast, I know 1 year for learning is to much, but I don,t have a sim yet!!!Thanks again, and your dog it´s beatifull, bye!!!

[jasmine2501]

@martinba77 ah yes, the 250 is a fun one... not the best for training, but it flies pretty good and is way cheaper to fix than this one.

[martinba77]

Waw what a crash!!!Awesome, sorry about you and your heli, but really nice flying to!!!

Excelent video, thanks for sharing!!!Bye!!!

[jasmine2501]

@martinba77 $200 later this bird is flying good :)

You should be thanking me for showing you the exact stick movements to replicate this spectacular stunt too...

Great video! Love the small screen showing the sticks. Good flying as well (even your reaction to the crash). I fly a 450. Thanks for posting.

Crazy fingernails.

[jasmine2501]

Are you gay enough to give me fashion advice? Are you?

[silverstreak328]

@jasmine2501 Yup that must be it! Calm down, didn't realize you were female till after I posted and saw your tuber name.

[jasmine2501]

I get a lot of comments on that, which is odd, and a little annoying because it has nothing to do with helicopters, but it's all groovy :)

[silverstreak328]

@jasmine2501 I think it's cause 99.9% of heli fanatics are men. I think it's cool, wish I could get my fiance into helis...

[elsalamemelame]

@jasmine2501 cool you are a girl ive never seen girls flying that is good

[pointnozzleaway]

if it was easy....everybody would be doing it ! nice flying Jasmine

[jasmine2501]

Thanks :)

I got it all fixed up and flying again, but now it's snowing :(

Backwards circuits are hard, I can't do a decent forward circuit yet. Shame on the crash Jasmine, you'll fix her and have her back up there in no time I'm sure.

[videoguy837]

Sorry about the crash. Backwards upright circuits are the fastest way for me to crash in the sim -- still have to pick up that move.

Wow, look at all those gophers frantically scurring away right at the moment of impact (2:33). That heli would have turned one or two of them into puree if they got hit!

[dangerousprimate]

ouch!

[im4711]

Sorry to see that.

[trexinvert]

Hey J...sorry about the crash. Did you lose your gyro/tail servo? Ouch. Get some $22 carbon fiber 430mm blades from rcdepot. What do you concentrate on during backwards flight? Do you fly the tail? You know stick up = tail up and stick down = tail down with the cyclic stick? It's a pain to learn but handy for flying inverted backwards. Keep on flying. Here's me(search: "white trex500 inverted).

[jasmine2501]

Nothing was broken before the crash, I just dorked it. I always watch the whole helicopter, I don't get focused on one part or another. In this case, I knew it was at a bad angle, but I pushed the stick the wrong way. If I had pushed up and left it would have been fine. I've done backwards circuits a hundred times. Sometimes you just mess it up I guess :)

I already got some Mavvrikk blades.

[trexinvert]

Mavrick G5 Pro's...nice. I had them for a "very" short time before..crunching. How do you like them. They're "super wide" I heard they tend to bog the motor.

[jasmine2501]

I don't know yet. I haven't had time to rebuild - just got the rest of the parts today. They are wider than the other blades the LHS had, but about the same as the GF blades I was using.

Nice sounds in the slow-motion
