Did YOU fly today??

[pug907]

Had 5 flights with the X4. Really disconnected today, too close to the ground and could only get a smooth flight at full throttle everywhere??? Was on Phoenix for an hour practicing going fff, dropping the nose just past vertical and then giving it full negative into an inverted loop or rainbow. Did at least 30 with good results and 2 prangs(6% failure rate was worth a go ), then chickened out at the flying field, what a poof lol.

Flew the Fusion and E700 today, after I crashed the Gaui X3. Did a backwards loop, tail blew out at the top of all places, lost orientation, hit hold, blades stopped about 6 feet above the wheat/barley and it plopped in gently. I'm sure I've done backwards loops on it before with no drama, and it was dead calm with no wind to speak of.

The only damage was a servo which burnt out (Hitec 5065MG) instead of stripping gears, so they're being replaced with KST 215s/Turnigy equivalents.

Why so extend damage? Got pics?

So sorry about your mishap mate.

Requires the following, main and tail blades, main blade grips, main shaft, feathering spindle, both side frames, main gear, boom, boom supports, linkage set, tail drive belt, tail output shaft, swash plate is bent, servo gear set and a canopy.
As you can see, I don't mess about when I put one in

Did YOU fly today??

Had a quick flying session today as I didn't have much time

4 flights on the 550 mainly doing auto's which went well then 3 flights on the 700 doing half piro flips and a few auto's

On the last flight as the timer beeped I fired it skyward and hit th, the approach was spot on but just as I flared I dropped the tail fin into the ground and almost tipped it over, but got away with it

Had 3 batteries with the 500 and 4 with the Goblin 700 this afternoon. Today was taking forward inverted flight from the sim to real life and it went very well. Even managed a few on the goblin. I was also practising rolling to inverted and tail in inverted hovering. I even got to watch Brian with his 700n for a few minutes, very nice flying and those nitro's sound so good.

All in all another great days flying.

Just finished sticking 4 batts through the 550sx, what a nice machine!

Don't worry mate, New one will be here tomorrow

Is it what I think it is?

Concluded mines dead tonight, about all that survived is the carbon frames, tailbox and electrics. The beastx is going to have to go for a service just to be safe. It didn't look that bad but stripping it down everything that bolts to the frame has twisted, heads a mess, Can't believe it tbh, Still not convinced my DX9 is working properly after been in, wiggling the sticks and nothing happening just watching it nosedive wasn't nice, passed range tests easily, but since this incident I'm seeing in excess of 400 fades on range test and was lucky to see 5-6 through a pack.

a new frame with blades is £310 from Raj, or thinking of just wait for a nice Trex 700 frame to crop up.

Had 9 flights on my blade 450x yesterday after changing the motor and cyclic servos. Im happy and it flies lovely

It got quite windy towards the end of the day

Went to the field today to have a fly with the birthday boy (Forza). I managed to squeeze in 3 packs on the 500 and 4 on the Goblin. Today was spent trying to move about while inverted, stall turn practise and general flying about. Another great day flying in the sun.
