Not a good weekend!!

That was a bad crash Mark, Bad luck mate..

Nothing to help you with other than an upgraded full metal head thats in the classifieds if you are re-building her..

Thanks for the offer mate.

Unfortunately the rebuild is going to cost more than a new frame.

I've taken some photo's but they are too graphic to post

Bloody bad luck mate, didn't seem as serious as that when we first inspected the aftermath

Hi Mate

Yes it looked a mess but not as bad as that at the field.

Once I started looking more closely, things went from bad to worse.

When the bill reached over 100 quid I went for the beer

Your flying by the way was the most impressive I have ever seen.

Are you sure you have only been flying 8 weeks?

Cheers

Mark, I'm gutted for you, that poor little shuttle must have bitten it big time.

Hope you get yourself sorted out soon,

I got my Sceadu Evo 30 Kit from Galaxy Models for £175,

go on, you know you want one.

I can't help you with any shuttle bits I'm affraid as all mine went when I changed to the sceadu.

I feel as a parrot for you mate.

Sorry to hear mate, it's always heartbreaking when you have a biggie. Even my little girls upset me when they crash badly. I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like to see a pricey bird like that 'go in' hard.

Thanks Guy's

Mark, I'm gutted for you, that poor little shuttle must have bitten it big time.

I think what did the most damage was a small thrash on the ground before I hit throttle cut.

Engine was still running and I still had radio contact.

Just a 'numpty' error by the half arsed pilot I'm afraid.

Sounds like the norm to me Mark

The art to cultivate is hitting the throttle hold just before the heli hits the ground, mind you after 19 years I still forget sometimes

Any more thoughts on where your going with this situation mate..

I have been overwhelmed with offers of help and second hand bits of kit.

I would like to thank all those with their offers and words to the wise.

You know who you are so many thanks. (If I haven't put a thanks after your post, give me a kick!!)

As for the Shuttle it is truly dead and I'm looking at pastures second hand.

Will update soon.

Cheers
