Started the year with a 450pro and a 600LE. Just sold the 600 airframe to make way for a velocity 50 N2 and am looking to sell the 450 as I don't fly it as much as the 50 size

Damn, that's a bit of a drag man.

This year was the year for mechanical failures for me.

In reverse order my crashes were;

Blitz Avro - engine cut in a turn upwind, tried to auto but had to turn downwind
and had too much forward speed, ground not smooth enough, damage was a
nice new set of blades :-( boom, TT, crown gear, feathering shaft.

Century Predator SE gasser - main rotor shaft somehow slipped downwards during the
inverted portion of an aileron roll, blade tip chopped into the boom. Managed to
auto it and finally get it flipped back upright before reaching the ground. I still
have not ordered the parts (boom, TT, skids, main and feathering shafts, etc.)

Ely.Q Ultimate - tailrotor pulley came loose during a stall turn, too low to stop
it spinning completely. Damage was blades, boom, skids, feathering shaft, some links, etc.

Hirobo Sceadu evo 50, had two incidents earlier in the year - main gear
stripped badly in flight but didn't crash then the anti-rotation pin came
out of the swash (the outer swash on that heli is plastic). Various
damage, blades, skids, lost Spektrum sattellite, etc.

Raptor 50 had two incidents, both minor. Aileron servo failed causing a
crash (boom, blades, skids etc.) then a link came off the swash causing
a bent feathering shaft and main shaft but no crash.

So, an expensive year in that regard, lots of broken blades and various
parts.

[sacko]

a fair amount of damage there!

I think I have only gone in twice this year from memory, a record.

Got a lot of making up to do in 2012!

[LipolyGone]

Cant complain trillian it was my 1st one for over a year.
It was a failure of some discription as the thing was hovering fine with probably to high a head speed & I think the blade grip
link came a drift. I will convert back to the flybarred head & get it back in the air.

Yeah, I did a lot of flying this year so I guess it is somewhat in perportion. Some of the mechanical
failures were not things that were likely to be detected in pre-flight checks and were just
co-incidence that several of those things happened within a few month span but it did worry
me a bit. Only one crash was caused by 'dumb thumbs' and that was with my 500 but
the damage was minimal and it was flying again very soon. (I did also crash the 450s
but that wasn't dumb thumbs it was just me being silly too low to the ground).

Maybe the answer is ultimately to only have a few helis flying at any one time and
in addition to the regular pre and post flight checks just do a total rebuild now and then
to catch those unseen potential failures. This is where you appreciate the helis that are
easy to work on and spot problems and is one reason I love the Robbe Futura and Milli.
