@SkeyeDreamer Hundreds of dollars, eh? That's a Trex 450 and the replacement parts are very reasonable and there's not as much damage as you might think from looking at the video. I've seen guys in my heli club slam 450's into the ground at high speed and they were back up and running by the following weekend for less than $100. (Not including any taco'd packs, of course.) Not a big deal.
@guitaramp68 : You know, when your knowledgde is enough good, you can fly whatever quality you want. the worth i had to fly was a H300 from artec with everything moving everywhere due to mutiple crashes. After a long time tuning it and setting proper configuration, it flied absolutly ok. but this was a long time work for a poor quality helicopter... CopteX class is fine if you can make it well...
@justinRkeaton : Tipical from a rich guy ;-) Don't worry, i very well understand your meaning. But this is not a question of quality, much more a question of knowledge and missassembly troubles. Most chineses helies from Walkera have a good conception and performance. Some others, do have stupid differences with for example an unadapted ESC for a large KV motor and a low C battery...
That heli is not a trex it looks like a HDX 450 and if it is then that was the set of blades that came with the kit. If they are the set of blades that came with the heli then I had the same darn think happen to me this week and it sucks. Blade failure! I have since rebuilt my heli New main shaft, new tail boom, and the shaft that goes thru the blade grips and a new set of Align blades. My heli sounded like it exploded and I am sure you heard the same sound.
What ever happened was he forgot to tighten a screw. Very tipical with seniors missing screwes with these small helis. I see it all the time when they come in the shop. Oh, and plz lay off the booze while setting up helis.
oh that sucks. i know that feeling. but my blades never just did that. and it was always my stupid fault when i crashed.:) but i will tell you somthing. keep flying because when it doesint blow up its the coolist thing ever.
Lucky you didn't get hurt O_O

Yep its not a balsa model. This is an intricate model that must be perfect before flight.

Great work! you managed to edit out the actual crash!
would it be good to just wait 2 seconds after the crash before
rewinding and freezing? just a thought.
