Tiredness just cost me my lipo money

[p4ddy]

I was on my way to the field after work & as i was driving up to it i started to feel tired. I hadn't flown at the weekend except the Gaui in the garden & thought i'd still have a fly. Went with my 450 1st, spooled up, timer started, up & over into inverted around 10ft up & it just slowly fell inverted till it hit the deck. Yep i forgot to go idle up. What an idiot!!!! especially as i've said i ALLWAYS go idle up before flying in some other thread I broke my bloody carbons again. I also need some new tail blades for my Logo because of auto'ing into too long grass. I just sold some clubs to get lipo money but now it's bits money & i'm going to have to wait at least 6 weeks before i can order some new Logo lipo's now.

Paddy, I did the reverse a while ago, I forgot that I was in idle up and smashed my 450 into the ground - ho hum typical brain fart time.

I've got some spare 450 HK carbons if you need them to tide you over?

Cheers,

with most of my dumb-thumb-crashes (a couple of good ones among them), I realized only afterwards that I should have found something to eat 3 flights ago.

Owch Paddy, we all do it at some point, I nearly chopped my head off tonight setting up the new gyro on my 450 pro in the man cave!!!!. I have the standard blades that came with my kh450pro sat here if ya wanna borrow em m8 the ones you flew on it the other day, i have cheap carbons on it now.

Maniacs are also very strong as i'd crashed the last set a few times with high & hard impacts. They didn't even scratch lol. I want another set but am unsure?? Still the only reason i broke these is from absent mindedness so maybe i will get another set?? they auto well aswell.

Jim
I was gona order the 25C BUT they are on back order so once they're in i will buy (once i give yours the fitting test)

Nah mate not wednesday morning, wednesday afternoon yes. There's not a chance in hell i would ever do anything remotely non scale with my Airwolf. In fact the last flight i had was with the rex out of the fuse & i wanted to see if it would 3d so i done some tic tocs, a loop & some inverted flight which was that heli's 1st. I've got some servo gears on the way so that'll be flying again shortly. I still need a working (when in flight) servo slow for the retracts so it'll be more gear down flying for now. If you want to loop your scale heli then you should get a BO blah blah & paint it in the redbull livery.
