What a Save

[Nightlore]

Wow What a save i had, I lost my Tail on my rappy 50 last sunday,

I was flying inverted when it happend

To save it i did a piro flip to get it back upright then hit the auto switch, and i got it down in one pice thank god

Thats the second tail fail ive had so far on that heli

Oh well ill will make shure i use the thread lock next time

I know It was verry smooth, Im Very Proud of my self,

[mattie-lodge]

I caught it as well. Looked very impressive. Nice inverted piro's before aswell.

You must come down again

[Nightlore]

ill be down agane, I realy need a better heli cus my flying is geting better every week. Ade had a near miss with that rap 90 going into fail safe, shame i wernt looking

[mattie-lodge]

I saw that too. Perhaps it was just me. Bad omen.

The 90 could of been very bad, coming straight towards him. He landed it and said oh dear quite loud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What heli are you after next?

[Ade_Law]

lockout was caused by dodgy tail pitch slider bearings.

i think we confirmed that 0 pitch for failsafe is bad.... I was doing a fast high bank circuit (hurricane) fairly low just as it came accross it went into failsafe and threw itself at the ground then just as quickly recovered at about 4ft. fairly close in too.

not sworn that much for a long time.

i like the look of the new Aurora, But i prob get the vibe 90, i will need to start saving now

Im going to spend more time on the sim as i want to enter into the clubman 3D

[Ade_Law]

all ya need is a well equiped well setup 50. you only need to look at the models the top 3 were flying at clubman to see that a 90 just isnt required.

Ade

[mattie-lodge]

You didn't swear did you?????

Come on it was only a little glitch. NOT!!!!!

Tail pitch slider. Who would of thought it. Has it been replaced and flown?

[Ade_Law]

yes he flew it yesterday. you down on sunday?

Ade

[Nightlore]

ill pop back down and stay for the day in a few weeks, that tail fail scared the sh*t out of me so i had to go.

It is a long drive for me to get down there as i live in hereford.

I want a 90 any way as there is lots more power in a 90 than a 50 but it will get a better 50 anyway like the knight 50.

We`ve all had a good save or two,i had an engine cut during a low inverted hover,landed on the head and flew again after straightening the flybar,this one was caught on video

Also had a flameout while flying along inverted at about 4 feet,i nosed it over and auto`d down..

Also had a habit of running out of fuel lately,but always seem to get away with it

[mattie-lodge]

Hopefully pop down Sunday.

See you then

[Raptorite]

Now then Ade, you didnt do an X rated version of Victor Meldrew did you

It's a shame it wasnt caught on video

Cheers,
Pete.
