Crashes

June 2007
Okay first crash happened about 5 hovers in… I’d mastered hovering, or so i had thought, when a gust of wind took the model way up out of my limited eyesight range. I cut the throttle too much - it did the trick and brought the model down rather quickly. I tried to recover head speed but I had lost too much momentum, the model seemed to tip stall and hit the ground side on.
Shopping List:
New blade grips
New blades (als zone glass fiber - cheaper than the stock woodies)
Mixing lever set
Flybar
Main rotor shaft
This crash was caused by my impatience by flying in weather I shouldn’t have been flying in… but I was excited about my new model, it was summer after all - why did we have weather in June like it was November?

October 2007
This crash was rather off putting as I had no control over the outcome what so ever. I was quite happily doing circuits and figure of eights when the main blades clashed with the tail boom. The heli came down quite fast and there was nowt I could do about it.
When I recovered the model I could have cried. From such a low height crash the model was a wreck.
Shopping List:
E325 Crash Kit
Tail Boom
Tail Blades
CY carbon blades
Tail Servo - Futaba 3154
Blade grips + various head components
Landing Gear & Lower Chassis
Main Rotor Shaft & new gears
All up the best part of a 100 notes… okay this wasn’t helped by going for the CY carbon blades - but hey they are cool!
