  • Stuffed the 450 Pro tonight!!

    Totally loving this little Heli the more I fly it
    Flying up at Tims place this aft, about two minutes into my first flight of the day and I smacked it in whilst getting cocky with some low tumbles and rainbows.
    In actual fact it went in pretty hard.

    And the damage??

    One rotor blade split!!

    Looking forward to crashing this Heli again I'll save fortunes
    Cheers,


    Gazza

    Yeah they bounce well

    My last ding actually bent the headblock though... which kinda sucks - but otherwise, minimal damage!

              I watched it go in and couldnt believe how little (if none) damage there was gazza.

              As we said at the field much better that going in than the 700.

              As for your flying and the crash, It went in because you were pushing hard and low, That's the way forward IMO..

                      sounds like the trex is a winner
                      why cant all models be like this - would save a bomb
                      cant believe you didnt manage so bend the flybar, mainshaft or feathering shaft - thats the norm for any crah normally
                      hope you enjoy even more once its fixed m8

                          My last ding actually bent the headblock though...
                          My last crash split the headblock wide open, bent the spindle, bent the mainshaft to about 60 degrees off straight, killed a servo, killed a set of radix and bent the boom. But I did pile it into a concrete floor at full positive whilst inverted.

                          But yeah they are tough.
