Yet another new person !

[Russ The Chippy]

Hello, new to this hobby,have been on Pheonix and with my mcx for 6 months and now got a Blade 400!! put the training gear on found a nice flat,empty car park with nothing to hit.....fired him up bounced about for about 10 seconds and then the dreaded.. "i don`t know what happened"..upside down in the only hedge around and now feel like a total spanner. just thought i`d let you know and for someone to say " i did the same" .Cheers

i think its happened to us all welcome to the hobby though! Always the way - hit the only thing about that there is to hit

[joe.lel]

You are by no means alone, mine hit the plastic bin though.

Hi there,welcome to the best heli forum going,by the way everybody drops a b*ll*ck when there starting out,it's all part of the learning curve,good luck with it.

Cheers everyone,think i stripped teeth off main gear only so got parts and looked up the repair your blade website on gritted teeth and changed main gear ,very nervously, but now raining so no chance of a trial in the "very safe" carpark,will have to wait `till tomorrow !

Hello mate, thought i would chip in and say, at least you ve still got your heli. I flew my Blade 400 away never to be seen again within a month of getting it. A long sad story involving over confidence combined with the biggest maize field you ve ever seen in your life. Replaced now with another blade 400 fully upgraded. Before you fly again please check the servos very carefully as the stock gears are stupidly easy to strip. I would also be very surprised if the main and feathering shaft are straight. all cheap and easy to fix. Ive toned mine down a bit with flybar collets (actually it was the previous owner) and in the radio which makes it a lot more manageable and easier to learn on.

[airtime0007]

Should of said if the servo gears are missing any teeth and you do manage to lift of without noticing another crash will follow pretty quickly, I know from doing it myself.
