Well, it was dry this morning, and I was off work.
So A quick hover practice with my Mini Titan was called for 
Previously, I have landed with the tail down a bit too much and stripped the gears of the tail drive shaft 
I have also incurred a broken vertical stabilser fin, a crack near the bottom of the tail boom..So I CA’d that together.
Well today, I landed fine, but the tail fin twisted to the right - I guess the grass was a bit bump and it jarred the fin a bit.. The tail rotors promptly ate the fin, chopped themselves and stripped the gears of my tail drive shaft and the main tail shaft.
Curses upon those bumps on grass.
A valuable lesson - don’t fly with a cracked tail fin :p
Chucking it down now, so its lama time before the kids wake up

Well, a somewhat unoriginal first blog posting 
My current heli collection consists of:
* ESky Lama V3
* Twister CP V2
* Silverlit Picooz ( yep, I know, but when your batteries are out and it’s raining… )
* Walkera 52
My first heli was the Esky Lama, a few teething problems (never believe RTF), but sorted it out quickly. Point of notice - if you get a severely non RTF proclaiming to be RTF, sit back and ask heliguy forums… I soon got my stuff sorted out and was whizzing around on placemats on the dining table in no time!
My second heli was the walkera 52, not a happy relationship, and currently consigned to a black box. In my experience (limited) this heli has not actually obeyed the TX’s commands, bit of a downer having almost rebuilt this little guy due to everything breaking on it.
The third…Twister CP V2 (with the funky collective stuff)..only went into a local model shop (that I found out existed) to buy a magazine and walked out with this. Wow, nice heli I think, training skids off now and it handles really well…For me the trainers on this heli slowed me down tbh, mind you I have limited myself to a 1m X 1m square in my spare room..now graduated to outside if I can cut the grass
The silverlit..well..It’s a laugh, good fun, have to adjust the trim every min or so as the battery discharges, def. a toy rather than a model, but good fun indoors.
