CC500 does bounce, but not quite enough.....
Hi All,
Had a good weekend and was able to get the CC 500 finally out in the wilds and clear of anyone or anything - brilliant!
Newby, doing OK for 3 bats, hovering and gentle pottering around. Thinking it is nothing like Phoenix......... then on the 4th it all came to bits a bit!
The wind, at least I guess it was the wind, gusted changed or whatever and up she went then started coming down.
Gave it some more throttle and suddenly she spun around and was heading straight at me and coming in my direction.....small panic and hard landing followed inside about 2 seconds.
Reckon I must have spun her round whilst changing throttle/pitch setting.
So, half a landing skid, main blades, tail blades, looks like a bent main boom, flybar....that seems to be it so far, but will have to give a more careful check over then be out and about agin next weekend.
What a buzz this is, the 250 is twitchy and a bit zip zip zip, the 500 is quite amazing even with my limited....skills?
Cheers,
Bill.
