One day I'll invent a machine to pick up all those bits of heli in the grass that no one ever finds...............................and build one from them. How many parts have you lost in the lawn?
victoriadish........that was the dumbest comment i have heard all day....gold medal....heli's move much much faster than airplanes...rotor speed is the idea with a heli..sorry to sound mean
some of them are my trex 250 will take a beating. ive put that thing down hard so many times. i was flying in a gym last week and i put it down hard from about 10 feet and it was fine it was in idle up too. it all depends on how big and what brand the heli is
@cam21fr Yeah that Trex 250 is unbelievably tough... I have been thinking about getting one for in the yard... I have seen guys landing them rotor side down without damage... Of course it was on a gym floor but still, if I did that with my 400 it would explode...lol
@victoriadish I dont know about that, all the planes I crashed only had the tail left to mount on a wall... Where all my crashed helicopters only needed several parts replaced and adjusted and they would be back in the air... When helicopters crash they arent traveling that fast, when my planes crashed they were going well over 120MPH straight into the ground... Usually need a bucket to collect all the pieces...lol
@just4playin1 Generally, that's true, but sometimes helis will go in at high speed, just depends on the situation. I watched a guy in my heli club put his Trex 500 into a tree trunk at about 50~60 mph. It was a complete write-off. About the only thing that did survive was the motor and the swashplate. Everything else was either bent, broken, or missing entirely.
Very nice effect showing the entire disintegration of a Trex 700 in slow motion! It is amazing to watch the effect of the blades contacting the soil, and then the physics and the energy reeking havoc from nose to tail, causing every single aspect of the helicopter to beccome distorted in some way ... even parts that did'nt touch the ground. I think I am gonna stick with scale flying. Amazing, thanks for the great video. The best crash video I've seen.
Not $4000.00 expensive!! They are only expensive if you crash often!! Like we say, "if you can't afford to fix heli's, you shouldn't be flying heli's!"
@Jak3Mac The big ones cost around 2 or 3 thousand & can be more depnding on equiptment... The jet turbine ones and custom built ones can cost over 10,000... Just the jet turbine engine is 5700.00 thats not including all the parts to make it work... So yeah they can be expensive, but most people fly the 450 to 600 size helicopters which start at 200.00 and go as high as 1500.00... Thats why you see so many pilots crying when they crash because they know their wife is gonna kill them...lol
Wow, I've seen plenty RC heli crashes both on Youtube and in person, but I've always wished I could see one in slow motion. Great video!

yes seems only the blades could be expensive depending on the blades but there could be more

Low inverted hovers kill so many heli's it's a wonder people keep on doing them.
