Can add my name to the newbie crashing log! Lol
Beginning of the week was hovering my belt CP okay and then either something broke or the radio glitched it banked sideways and did not respond to the radio and went into the grass.
Broke:-
set of blades
all 3 servos gears stripped inside
bent feather bar
main shaft bent
boom bent
rear tail shaft bent
main gear stripped
lower gear stripped.
Was only 2/3 feet off the ground and was surprised how much broke or bent, although have read on here these heli's use cheap and cheerful cheap parts compared to other better makes.
Then to top it off as I finished work early today , gave my Gaui 200 a go as I have now fitted a wireless cam and wanted to see how it would work with the extra weight of the cam and transmitter and extra small battery I fitted on there, it seemed fine until it started to spin like mad, and lucky enough was only about 3 feet off ground and made it to the ground in 1 piece at least, and then see the tail servo rod lying down on ground, the tail pitch lever arm had sheared off.
Nothing broken except the cnc tail pitch lever though.
My other heli's not ready yet, so guess I will be using my walkera 4-3b or CP2 until the parts turn up for both of these ;-)
Still cant complain , only had a few hard landings since i started to learn to fly these things and only crashed my honey bee cp2 upto now ;-)
Have a great flying w/e all
