In for a birdie????????

LOL!

Thanks. More like an albatross.

Just read your post Brian, sorry to hear of your crash, hope you can get it fixed and back up again real soon.

Looking for the silver lining? ...well this might be a good time to suggest to the Mrs that you really need more than one heli so that you can still fly while fixing/maintaining/rebuilding the other.

Hope to hear you're back in the air soon.

Thanks, Pete. I think I might need a lawyer if I suggest another heli at this point. Bless her, she could see how upset I was, she just said "Don't worry, can you fix it? Better get the parts ordered then"

Sorry to hear your crash - who said "learning curve is flat"? We all have been through this "teenage" stage so you will get over it and be a better pilot for that.

It seems you have a very rare "One in a billion" wife and more to the point she is on your side - what else can I add - simply worship her, three times every day.

Cheers

OUCH! OUCH! OUCH !!!!
Looks pretty bad - I'm sure you'll get it back and flying before the month is out.

Looks like it'll buff out mate.

Nice one, Mick. I've started the rebuild - I'm going to start a post on the rebuild later.

Ouch! Brian! You did a good job there buddy!

I keep toying with buying an airbrush such that, when my canopy goes for a burton, I can patch it up inside and out with P38 (or similar) then do a natty paint job on it.

Mine needed patching with a new canopy.

Good to see you getting back in the saddle.

I've not flown for 2 weeks due to the demise of my club. Just been out in the garden for a 1 battery hover. Went fine - bit shaky but OK.
