        Went out to fly 2nd time today but, like a blinkering I am, crashed my helicopter without even getting it off the ground

        Forgot to ensure heli start position was right, so the first thing after flipping TH was tail blades digging into the ground, then the heli flipped and finished with a boom strike. Bah.

          • Went to the club with the 450 and the 130 (having bent the 600 on Saturday). Had 8 good flights in fine weather. Really enjoyed it.

            • Plenty of flights this weekend but it had its ups and downs, piro flips were progressing and got some good pics but I managed to lose a canopy screw off my Logo and the Goblin mid flight That grounded the Goblin for the weekend (what a stupid thing to keep you from flying lol) and seeing Forzas 700 go in, that sucked!

                  Just glad it didn't happen when you were flying it or anywhere near the pits. Can be an eye-opener that no matter how well you look after and maintain your Heli (and I'm borderline OCD) it can still turn nasty really fast. Think I'm going to try and reinvent the wheel - I put it to Dragons Den - the worlds first bubblewrap helicopter.

                  Good thing I bought the Logo when i did or I probably wouldn't be getting one till Xmas. Every cloud has a silver lining.

                    I always have visions of a sort of airbag system, similar to what NASA used to land a probe on mars once... as it comes towards the ground... big airbags inflate all around it until it just looks like a huge football lol....

                          The bolt head sheared off on the tail blade grip. Spinny-spin, TH, splat, call out the search party to find it in the farmer's field (3ft high crops) and upon retrieval the heli looks like an exhibition out of the Chelsea flower show. Had the model 2 years and it hasn't done all that much work in that time but what can you do.

                          • 4 packs through the 500 this morning..nuisance that by the time I'd charged then the still air had become quite breezy. I used to keep packs ready to go but economic realities mean i have to treat them better now.

                            • Just put 3 packs through the 450 in some insane wind; immense fun. Yesterday (when the 700e crashed on take off) I hated this hobby, today I love it!

                                I had 7 flights today
                                5 on the 450, 2 on the 550 with no crashes which was a surprise considering this was my first outing for 3 weeks and I haven't even been near the sim

                                Had a couple oops moments with the 450 but saved it from going in

                                The 550dfc is awesome!

                                It was pretty windy but I was itching to get out to play it could have been twice as gusty and I'd still have gone
