  • S**t, just buckled my mini titan!

    Hi, just popped out to fly the Belt CP and Mini Titan, thought id try inverted with the mini titan. Got it inverted and held the hover ok, but realized i have no idea how to get it back the right way up, hehehe! Tried to pull it back out like i was completing a loop, but not enough height, in it went nose first in idle up! Eeeek!
    Damage seems to be main blades, all shafts, boom, 2 cyclic servos, canopy, main gear, flybar, tail fin, skids, various links, all electrics seem ok. Havent crashed since before christmas, guess i was due one. That'll teach me!

    Havent you got a sim..

    Very brave thing to do if you havent practiced on a sim first.

    BTW: Negative will pitch it skybound when inverted then pitch the elevator over either way or roll it out with the aileron..

          Yeah, ive messed about on a sim, just thought id go for it though. Thought i had enough height.......... Tried to roll it out with elevator, but i aint that good! Think i'll keep it upright in future....

              Yeah, inverted is harder than it looks, once it starts going tits up i just lose it.
