Suger Hotel India Tango...
Did my second nose in hover.. Proud! Turned away, and did some FFF. Was cooking.. Doing 90 degree turns! Pushing it for me!
Landed - changed battery.
Did some more FFF... was going fast, not quite stall turns, but close to wing overs on each end... My left side id the poor side... Did a turn on the left and went into FFF from left to right...
While it was about 45 degrees to my left, heading fast to my right, I noticed it was right side down a bit... not level... Brain freeze at that speed! Corrected the wrong was, and it went over on it's side.
Came down, and clipped a small tree, throwing bits off... The momentum kept it going fast and it hit the ground. More bits...
Heli.. dead! My first proper smash... Cross, but over it already (20 minutes after the fact).
Gyro was hanging off, but no signs of a strike on it... It was already a bit lose from old tape... so I think it came off from the crash, more than a strike on it...
Blades, flybar, paddles, main shaft, spindles, main gear and canopy...
Agh!!!
