    Bad luck don, It's always bad to see a heli in that state.
    Chin up mate, you'll soon have a new one flying again.

      Show me a 700 or 600 which does (excluding extreme tail in hovering crashes). Helis are designed for fly


      Don, sorry about your crash, unfortunately airframes are disposable goods, but it's a real PITA when electronics get damaged.I am sure it will fly even better in its reincarnation

          Sorry to see that Don and I feel for you. But if it is ANY consolation. I smashed my 450X on Friday (tail let go in a fast Hurricane) and my best Trex 550FBL yesterday when the tail failed completely (both blades ejected when in a Piro flip). Both a complete re-kit. Not many spares around for the 450X, so I shall have to buy a new one.
          Been there and done that, but never stop learning.
          Now too many Helis to mention?

                          I'll tellya a heli that is built like a tank, the Robbe Futura SE. I had a similar crash to one described in another thread yesterday, high speed low to the ground and saw the heli leaning and corrected the wrong way and it plowed into the ground with the skids digging in and it cartwheeled and tumbled with bits flying off right and left. Damage was blades, boom, canopy, front servo frame which is plastic, the fuel tank came out and split open, skids (obviously), feathering shaft and main shaft and one blade grip. It looked horrid seeing it go in but the main frames are so sturdy they'll survive almost anything (and as wavydavey mentioned, I think it helps being a nitro as the engine becomes part of the structure). All the electrics were OK as was the engine and pipe. Crashes are often counter-intuitive though, I have seen what looks really bad turn out to be minimal damage and then others where you'd think they were gonna get away with it and have all sorts of things broken.

                            Always unpleasant seeing a crash like that. At least the v-bar powers up.
                            A little less expense.

                            I am sure you will be back flying soon.
