Ouch, that musta hurt mate.
My sister asked the other day if she could have a go with the Blade, I said sure you can fly it at Pork Airport when it opens.
This is one rule I'm sticking with, as my hobby is now, and as it expands to other machines in the near future, "unless your here to help and know more than I, buy your own helicopter".
Other wise people crash your gear and laugh "well I've never done it before" and leave you with the repair bill.

Just say no.
If you're really interested, then go buy one.
That sorts out the men from the boys!

Just out of interest, winding your antenna like that into a helical coil will make it very directional... ie. in certain orientations, your range could be drastically reduced.

You don't need the boom anyway, just fly it as it is, it will certainly save any further boom strikes!

It certainly does make it directional - not only that, but selectively directional depending on the direction its wound, ie. right hand or left hand. That is, a left hand helical wouldn't necessarily be received well by a right hand helical.Originally posted by zx6rjey View PostReally?

Tight helicals are normally used for uplinks to satellites and other directional applications.
I guess with RC cars the range is never enough to notice problems, but with heli's it could be.
