BeastX Saved my Heli

[waveydavey]

Well sort of: Coming out of an inverted pass towards myself I planned to push it out and turn into some aileron tick tocks, all was going well until the blade grip control arm snapped just as I started to push. Oops! I was sort of knife edge on to myself not that far out and the blade started to flap about causing a bout of sphincter puckering. I fought with it to get it upright, before getting into hold and got it down on the floor. No damage apart from the broken control ball. Well happy. I reckon the Beast was fighting the heli at the same time helping me keep some sort of control. Thankyou Freakware, just fitted a set of spin blades which I'm trying to get used to and thought it was going to be a brief affair

Good save Dave i'm sure it was more down to your skill than the beast i take it this was on the 600?

I got SB on my beastx 600, bloody love them

[waveydavey]

I would love to say it was my skill Glenn but I do think with one blade flapping about like a wet fish the Beast defo helped. I fought with it a while before I hit hold, if I'd hit hold straightaway it would have ended up straight at me. I think a small bit of poo escaped mate. The control ball is the long one on the blade grip so quite stressed. I looked at the 600E pre gips and arms but your looking at £37 to replace them. I've just recently fitted the 600E pro head block with the shorter main shaft and the 600E pro links. Drops the head by 20mm altogether. Geometry works out fine but cyclic is reduced to 8 degrees which is fine for my flying but others may need more

Did the beastx land it for you! credit is on you for managing to land it I'd say

[waveydavey]

No in fairness Jim it didn't but it definitely helped with control, okay it was all me

Good save there Dave....but a broken Align ball is unheard of aint it,i thought only the cheaper,lesser qaulity brands,Outrage for instance have that nonsense happen...or have i been lead up the garden path by a few members on here?

[bolders]

Nice save Dave At the end of the day its you kept it together and maintained a cool head so props to you

I don't know about no garden path Nick my old fruit but I say it as I see it, or my sphincter feels it. The control ball snapped off cleanly. Over a years worth of use but from now on changed every 6 months or so. Me pants can't take anymore.

I can confirm having seen dave fly it was obviously all the beastly x and had nothing to do with him!
This is based on the fact that within one nano second he was down on the ground in the standard praying position sucking hos thumb , reciting his mantra " please heli god not my 600 again !"
Lol
Seriolsly I had the same thing happen with my rave Env and I too managed to get it down , a little more damage for me , but I too fe
T some how the fbl system helped me out, so remember folks for one blader's it's fbl all the way down please.
