  • IT had to happen sooner or later

    Well I had my first crash on Sat. Totally pilot error. I had been flying the heli in towards me on circuits. I'm comfortable with the orientation flying wise. Anyway, the last flight of the day and I slowed it down too quickly, too low and not close enough to see what was happening. Too much back pressure and put the hawk down on its tail.

    New boom, fin, main shaft, feathering spindle and blades. Fairly minor damage compared to my pride.

    Will be back together and tested tomorrow pm.
