To date it's still my Shuttle.
Without Blades I stopped adding up at around £150 ![]() Both Raptor crashes together have been cheaper than that ![]() Cheers Mark

mine was a shuttle also,

ohhh, a pissing contest with crashing. i have a blade failure rappy 50 one from 5/6 years back.
it was just touching £750 to fix it if memory serves. heli was a write off and i lost- 3x 8231 servos and 9251, arizona reg, 601 mangled, gv1 was dead, full metal head was MIA, airframe was not salvagable, OS50/exhaust took each other out. various other bits of bling didn't survive. was a long time ago but the avionics going was the worst part. cheers |

My most expensive crash (sorry to top ya Paul) was £800 with the craptor 90 - did a bladestop auto with loose blades, 250ft later I was picking up the remains...

My worst was somewhere around £700ish. I had a massive electrical failure combined with a pre quick connect rx which drove my old synergy in to the deck hard. It did the frames and most frame parts, rx lipo, reg, blades and paddles, engine, pipe, canopy, skids etc etc. That particularly hurt as I'd only had 8 flights on it since re-building it from the previous weekend where a tail servo failed costing me £300. I never re-built that one
