N9 mid-air

[Leebert]

Well Guys, It was a great flying day and a reet bad flying day!!

There was only 4 of us at the field and only 2 flew at the same time but the law of Sod came out to play
Ade999 had a cracking start with his N9. It was flying well on Saturday but, after a few slight tweaks, today, the N9 and the new YS was incredible

But then, Mr Sod intervened and... well, have a look at the photos. A nice, fast circuit turned into a nightmare mid-air .
The other heli wasn't as bad. It came up vertically from below and the blades cut the canopy and radio tray and the boom and TT cut cut clean off. The rx and Lipo were found 30 odd yards from the heli. Both were a bit worse for wear to say the least! The boom was near the aiframe but had buried itself. The hub and gearbox were underground and the boom and horizontal fin sticking straight up.

Ade didn't make a list of buggered things, just a (short) list of stuff that could be used again Ade reckons it may be cheaper to get another kit rather than rebuild the existing!!

What a day

We feel for you dude

Arrr man that looks a bloody awful...

I only fly the heli with no-one esle flying. for this exact reason !

Had a plane Mid air once but not as bad as that.

holy f*ck!. thats probably the worst looking crash i've seen in a while. sorry for the loss. it's hard to tell from the pictures but is the frames, servos, engine, pipe etc ok? going to rebuild it?

cheers

[funfreex]

Ouch, that thing looks mangled!

Sorry to see it in that state.
bad luck.

[Kwickkwack]

Ouch that is a real mess.
Is there anything that is re-useable?
Feel real sorry for you.

[Aidi]

That really must suck. The worst outcome i have ever seen. Hope all goes well with the rebuild

[helidriver]

They don't seem to crash well.

thats gotta be the 4th or fith N9 i've seen take it bad out of 6 or 7 i've seen crash.

at least you got the muffler bung back in.

[Tim Procter]

That is the worst thing about more than one flying at once..

I really feel for you mate, Thats really a bad crash and the remains tell it all..

Chin up mate, We all crash but you have had a corker there.

[jamiem]

jesus, Ade text me a couple of hours ago about this, it really does look like a write-off, such a shame, it was flying brilliantly last monday when i was up there with him good luck with the re-incarnation Ade! 2 weeks til charmouth, get to it!

[Rick Rotorhead]

Aw man! Its bad enough loosing any model, but one that you've just got flying real sweet is the twist of the knife!

[Made2Fade]

Nightmare dude... some moneys worth of damage there. I feel for ya man.

[Sesame]

Sorry to see that, hope you get something back in the air soon, bloody shame. they are such sweet birds

[Arky]

that is scary, would make me feel sick m8, good luck with the rebuild but in think i would use it for spares and just get a new kit, ouch

[xygax]

Ouch. The only one worse than that is the one in Kent... Plane Vs House......

Feel bad for you both, they look pretty mangled.
Had a heli plane midair at our club a few weeks ago, and that wrote both models off.
