Multiplex Mentor 09 - Crash damage - Gutted

http://www.123rc.net - RC Community for all...

So, this was the day I had my very first crash of an RC model, and I have to say, I felt gutted. I had a long run of successful flights, and this sunday night I was getting in some practice for my BMFA "A test" when I crashed the very model I was due to take the test with!

What the heck, 1 dislike and no comment as to why?

C'mon folks, if you going to hit the thumbs down, at least tell me why.... Play nice :-)

@123RCUK I find there's almost always a single thumbs-down on most of my vids too -- I guess you can't please all the people all the time eh? Wow, your receiver and ESC are expensive -- in fact your receiver cost more than some of my entire models! That's why I tend to stick to cheap-Chinese gear, even for my jets and 50cc petrol plane. Never had a radio-problem yet and I've saved thousands of dollars. Sorry about your misfortune.

@xjet Hiya mate

Thanks for stopping by to watch my vid :-)

I'm really not worried so much about the cost, and I've seen a guys lose a model due to cheap crap going wrong on them, so if its a model I have put a fair bit of time/effort into, I "feel" better flying it with quality gear..

I dont mind a dislike, but would be "nice to know" what was disliked..

I'm still very new to RC vid's, so am still finding my feet a bit :-)

I like your vids though mate :-)

@123RCUK My first crash......impala 2 channel glider..1 x PAW 0.19 deisel & no throttle (pinned it wide open), the glider went into power loops totally out of my control & smashed hard into the deck from about 200ft!!! Total carnage mate. That was in the late 80's!!!

@Macsgrafs Jesus, 50 models.... Thats proper "Burning a hole in your pocket" time... Bet you never forget your first crash though huh?

@123RCUK I will let you into a little secret...when I started flyign I lived out in the sticks & there were no computers....50 models later I could fly!!!!
