Flew in to a tree!
Was flying my king 2 in the local field with the training gear on and decided to take it a bit higher then I have before. The wind caught hold of the heli and it started to drift, thanks to my simulator training i managed to loop back and fly nose-in. But the wind caught it again and started to make the heli drift towards a large oak tree. I tried to increase throttle to clear the tree but the heli went straight in to the very top of the tree, and stayed there.
I had to climb the 30ft tree to re-claim my heli.
So, the damage sustained was a broken main blade, a snapped skid support and the main nylon gear had damaged teeth. total repair cost was £30.
in future i am only flying in tree-less fields!
