Doh... What happened?

[Tim Procter]

Damn that was lame.

[MartinH]

lol, what the heck, its quite nice to know though that others who have been flying a while crash just as easy as others just not as frequent .

[Gate88]

3 seconds mate, thats pretty good, I didnt even come close to that when I threw a ball link on spool up!

Ok,heres how i fooked up big time.......

Last night,i added some % to my swash mix,i added 2% but it started binding so took it back to 50%....as i went to scroll out i accidently hit the clear key,i didnt know what it had done till i saw the aileron mix go to 60%...i reduced it back to 50% but didnt realise it had changed it from my - to +....it should of been on -50% doh,so i had reversed the ailerons basicly(pause here while bashing my forehead on the computer table)

As i took off i went left to go out over the strip,heli was tipping right so i put more left in then bang,over she went....at this moment in time,its an A link,blades and possibly mainshaft and feather,i have all the spares so im just a little sad,more dissapointed...oh well....fix and fly

Oh dear, Nick . The flight was looking good until that happened!

Edit to add:

Perhaps you should have done a

PRE FLIGHT CHECK!

[ddracer]

Not good mate. We have all done it. Mine was the Alierons on a plank. Figured out as soon as it was hand launched. Opps. Hope you get it sorted soon.

[Radbourne78]

And that's why we bench test before flying Bet you won't forget again
Glad it's not too bad though and top marks for getting it on film

[Mart61]

It's stuff like this that is so easily done eh. Thereby but for the grace of God go us all (or many of us at least).

Much damage?

[Nick B]
