450 Pro 08/06/2011 Crash

Trying to do circles. Right circle, check. Left circle, oh sh@t! LOL Damage report: blades, fly bar, feathering shaft, main shaft, main gear, pitch servo, canopy mount pin, skid pipe, and tail boom. LOL I think I included everything. Upon doing the repair, I noticed one more damaged part. The Jesus bolt was shaped like a "S".

looks like you are pushing the envelope a bit. I think that is what it takes to improve, and the sim is a poor substitute for watching your paycheck spinning 'round the yard

@SurfD0g57 Haha, true! Thanks for watching.

I'm feelin ya there about th birthdays,..my kids september,..she had a small birthday but we promissed her a big one later,u know where I have to beg borrow and steal a small fortune ,..sorry to see her go down th way she did,..these inexpensive gyros are ok, but they wont self correct ur bird to safety for sh$%, if u know what I mean,..1 positive thing is u'll be forced to learn ur orientation and fly better,..I check out a skookum and they practicaly fly themselves,fly safe,later gator.

@cafediablo30 I know EXACTLY what you mean about the Birthdays. It's OK I fixed her the next day. I just haven't recorded any flights since then. Thanks a lot.

@Skyepuncher That's OK and thanks. I zigged when I should have zagged. Haha

@96sunvalley Not getting notifications here, either. Sorry bout the crash.

[SurfD0g57]

here is my most recent wreck! it will make you feel better (6:20 or so)

rebuilding is half the fun (buying parts... less fun)

[Luvtoflyhelis]

@96sunvalley I sure do, got five grandkids, try keepin up with all those birthdays, they sure are a lot of fun though.

[96sunvalley]

@Watmeworry1 Thanks. I didn't realize you commented until just now. Those youtube notifications work great. LOL

[96sunvalley]

@Luvtoflyhelis Yeah it wasn't too bad. I fixed her up and did a test flight and a few short flights in the yard. I've been really busy with my children's birthdays being August 22nd, 28th, and September 6th. LOL Haven't had time for flying but I'm sure you know how that goes.
