Thats me done with this hobby, rebuilt my mini titan after tuesdays prang, even splashed out on some nice radix blades for it. Took it out tonight, crossed the sun on the first circuit, and that was it, totally dazzled myself and in it went AGAIN!!!
Wasnt in the air 10 seconds, now destroyed. Just soooooo frustrating! Cant even look at the f*****g thing right now.

Hang in there fella - you know you want to.

Reassess the situation in the morning and see how ya feel.

[sacko]

Rebuild it, put it to a side, get on the flight sim for a few months.

Flying facing the sun was never a good idea lol.

Bad luck only lasting 10 seconds,my advice is go chill for a week and you'll be back at it.

[Made2Fade]

Yeh put it away for the evening and re-assess the situation in a day or 2.

[Made2Fade]

Oh and invest in some good flying glasses and a cap before you take it out again

[Mart61]

and a cap before you take it out again

Yup, we have all been there. I smashed my beam in under 4 seconds once at an indoor fly-in. Even smashed my 600 two days in a row. Just get some banker flights in up high and not infront of the sun and you will soon be in the right mood again. Stick in, its worth it in the end.

I know it's frustrating, I've just binned mine. Leave it a couple of days, you know you'll want to try again.

Been there with a .90 heli's on an absolutely smashing day and flew the heli the wrong side of me and met with the sun in my eye's full on as the heli disappeared for a few seconds which felt like ages. Just kept the sticks in position and prayed that it should come out the otherside.

It had dipped down and was about to kiss mother earth pulled out and brough it into hover infront of me. Was absolutely a bag of nerves but hovered and did some piro's in front of me to prove to myself that even though I had nearly smashed up a £800 heli due to my own fault that I still had the upper hand if like - all about pride mate....

Give it a couple of day's and rebuild - use the sim for a bit.

This hobby is full of ups and downs and I'll tell you now for all those frustrating moments you'll find a dozen that really pick you up and give you a sense of achievement with plenty of self pat's on the back.
