Bad luck on the crash Stuart and great to see you out flying again.

Could have come up today Lee, Had a day indoors which is unlike me..

Dam, wish i had of known that mind... it was quite late saturday night that Stuart decided he was poping down mind. Next time mate I didnt do much flying to be honest as i still have that wag on the tail on my 600E. Got a torque tube in front of me to stick in it. Will see if that gives me any clues. If it doesnt i really dont know what im gonna do.

Cheers

Heres the holes in the ground, cant beleive i didnt take a few shots of the heli, im sure i did but they arnt on the phone??? Might have caught it but i stopped the video camera just short of the crash because i was being greedy and wanted to absorb some of stuarts flying with my own eyes lol.

Heres the damage to the ground it made anyways so u can imagine the state of the heli. Frames were intact and fine as far as i could see. Which i was rather surprised at to be honest but i think thats mainly because of how soft the grass was.

Just presumed your using vestax from the link you posted (now removed) to your youtube account named vestaxdj. The pitch bend on the pdxs makes mixing much easier.

[Made2Fade]

I did own pdx 2000's for a while but also had a pair of mark 3 Technics 1210s at the same time. I ditched the Vestax for the Technics. Vestax are unreal for scratching but they just dont have that robust feel the Technics have. I do however like their mixers. Im using Denon stuff thesedays alongside the 1210s. DMX 1500S mixer and DNS 3500 cd decks. Opted against the Pioneers because been there done that too and wanted something diffrent. Thinking about it i dont think my 2000's had pitch bend on anyways so i presume your talking about a diffrent model? However the VestaxDJ is associated with the make so your correct on that 1 Couldnt get Made2Fade or TechnicsDJ as a username on youtube
Im a hands on club DJ who likes to keep it real so cheatings not for me Personally i think all this digital DJing is too easy thesedays. Unfortunately its the way things are going and its pointless being stuck in the past so ya just gotta go with the flow. Didnt get what ya meant by cheating in ya post but i can kinda see how you think pitch bend is cheating. Even though at the end of the day you still got to adjust/use it (and you do that with a normal pitch slider anyways )

as long as its around +- 12 deg you should be ok

Nice setup, had mk2 1210s and djm700 I claimed off a guy who owed me some cash. Sold up when times were hard though. Now have vestax pdx2300, they have noticably more torque than 1210s but your right dont have the quality feel of the technics. The little pitch bend stick means you can mix without touching the platter or having to judge how much pressure to use so much. Used mk2 pdx2300s quite a bit too, they look and feel much closer to technics but with all the added features.

Yeh they a little diffrent from the norm... got sick of the pioneer stuff and wanted a change. I think ive owned like every deck/mixer under the sun lol.

i thought about the denons as they have the spinning platter,great for quick mixing,
but opted for the cdj1000mk3 and djm600 instead as i tend to do more blend mixing,
but have sold on now
still got my 1210's which i will have to keep as i wont have anything to listen and rip my vinyl with (time staking @ real time)

cheers

Timmy i mix allsorts really mate, done it all haha. Dam that makes me sound old and im not even lol. Still have all my vinyl too... into everything from Italian dance oldskool to various trance, hard & funky house (Hed Kandi style). Like mixing all the styles up really.
They just released the DNS3700's... they look sooooo nice. Similar looking to the 3500s in the pic but it plays all the media files from cards/harddisk too. Could be investing in those in the not to distant future we'll see.
Quite like that hooj label in your avatar... some wicked tunes on that label Loved the old Taucher and DJ tandu type stuff.

Repair List

• U/C Legs
• Skids
• Boom
• Boom Guide
• Vert Fin
• Main Blades
• Canopy
• Thrust Bearings
• Radial Head Bearings
• Dampners
• Muffler (Original Going Back on ans the MP5 has more bends than a roller coaster!!)
• Possible - Crankcase for YS50 - Small crack on outlet as a result of Muffler pulling on case on impact
• Main Mast - Already Have
• Flybar - Already Have
• Feather - Already Have
• Washout Arm
• Link Set
• Sprag & Sleeve - possibly depending on replacement mast going in if the slight drag goes then maybe not.

One thing though I had changed the tube drive for a belt drive and considering the boom was snapped at the root no damage to main gear teeth or pinion. For sure if it was a tube drive I would be needing gears too.
