well it was a lovely day i got a flight in my trex 550 and flew great 
then i took the velocity out wish i dint 
had a short flight to see if it was ok landed it as some dog walkers were watching with the dogs loose :\ when they went i sent her back up my gf took some pics when it was flying and when i did a little inverted hover i went to do another one and well it all went wrong from there
as i went into it when it was vertical the engine cut out :| i was like sh*t what do i do LOL so i tried to get it back horizontal but it would not respond it carried on going upside down but it seemed to have full negative pitch so i am thinking it lost signal it was about 20 feet off the ground and it slowed down quite abit and the blades had stopped but it carried n turning and landed at like a 45 % engine on its side so the canopy took the brunt of it plus the models wasn't miles away about 20-30 feet last week i had some issues i landed it went over to check it to find out it had lost signal after further inspection one of the satellite wires was abit dodgy so i replaced both of them and did a range check when i flew it yesterday :S
have not had time to take it apart yet but it looks like it has help up really well as none of the frames are cracked will post later of what damage i find well i hope it inst bad its going to be a few week until i can repair it cant afford it at the min
