First Auto!!

[Mojo]

Well it was not a planned auto.. It was one of those "Think and do something before it drops out of the sky like a rock!!"

First flight today, going pretty well, just getting used to the heli and after 4-5 min the engine cuts out!! then picks up again..

Lesson: If that ever happens, land immediately!! Do not start wondering what is wrong!

Then it cut out completely about 15-20 foot up and about 30 away from me.. And all that was there is the sound of a silent Hyper 50 and a heli suspended in the air with me frozen watching the blades get slower..

Quick!! Negative in... Then positive.. and i landed it in one piece!!

Well because of the distance separating me from the heli i managed to touch the tail blades in and strip the tail crown gears.. How glad was i? I tell you i was very glad to walk away with my heli in one piece

The reason: My clunk tube came loose and fell into the tank.. So! replaced it and tie wrapped every tube in sight.. That is not something that i want to happen again in case i'm not so lucky next time..

So got some spare gears out, changed the unfortunate gears and was all ready and flying again..

Glad i got that one out of the way without much damage.. Hopefully my next auto will be a choice not a surprise

Mojo, the heli lived to fly again less than an hour later sounds like a good first auto to me. I've still got that experience to come yet... Well done and good to meet you today.

Cheers mate, well almost undamaged though

Well done on yours!! I just had a read of your post.. It seems these autos are meant to be done under pressure

Cannot wait to auto on my new Vision 50..

Especially now ile have Tail control, as my Raptor was non-tail driven :P

Mojo, will you be going to that Midland Heli Club scale fly in?

If so ile probably see you there!

Nice save Mo could have been much worse, i am just thinking of about doing some proper autos myself on the 600 so will be probably be doing in some crown gears as well.

well done mojo on the auto


dean you know you want to auto the 600, they do auto themselves or should i say the 600 auto's very well
or you could always let the scale boy's auto your 600 on the 19th

Well done on the auto, i think most peoples first autos are due to engine cut-outs i know mine was
