First hover without training legs!

Can't believe anyone was at the field today, you must be tapped! Bet you need a 4 x 4 to get down to the caravan now.
Let me know next time you go, I'll bring the boat or maybe just a snorkel.

To be honest on the drive down there seeing the all the flooding on roads and in other fields, I doubted anyone would be there. But these boys ain't soft! I just need more flying experience and I'll be flying with them.

@Dave - Got the parts ordered, hopefully they will be here Tuesday. Might take you up on the help. Dom has already said he may have a few spares too.

Bad photo I know - but this is the feathering spindle

Not soft, except in the head.

Meestormac - just pm me when you have all the parts and I will help you rebuild and set it up. I know its a ****er when its hit the deck but the rebuild will teach you a lot about the heli and settings you need to build to. It looks a hard hit to bend the feathering shaft like that and you didnt like the blades so now you can change em !

it should just bolt back together dave, its got 65 mgs and ive demonstrated on many occasions that they are bullet proof. My new field at inskip faired a lot better than Hekky bank by the looks of it it wasnt flooded at all but was still err........ moist!!! Only ****er is its abit of a trek to get there but we should have container installedby next weekso at least well have some where to watch telly when it ****es down!!!!

[Davewaddy]

Kev - it was wet but not completely covered. In fact Kamakazi was able to land on the "island" It was ok to fly but the heli soon decided it was a love sick angel when ever it flew down wind! Good training session though, and many flights and no issues or damage. Brill to see Inskip growing but as you say its a bit of a trex (pun)

[MeestorMac]

Right got the heli rebuilt -

New Dampers
New Feathering Spindle
New Flybar
New Carbon Steel Mainshaft
New Metal / Carbon Tail Supports
New Carbon Blades
New Carbon Paddles

Let's just hope I put everything back together correctly!!
