Merry Christmas from my Rx

[Jamez]

Its the only thing I can think that caused this, I had already flown once, batterys were fine, preflights were all good, so stuck it up to about 80ft to do some flips, when it pitched tail down, piro'ed 3 or 4 times, flicked level, rolled left etc, etc until it piled in (upright on the skids but)

Damage report so far ( without stripping it yet)

Boom
Boom Suports
Fins
Shafts
Side Frames
Blades
Flybar
A couple of linkages
Canopy ( Split )
Canopy Mounts

And a bloody happy new year and all

Always sad to see pictures like this Jamez..

Hoping you get it fixed soon and put it behind you..

[colin n]

is the gear working now ??

just asking cos i get loads of hits up at that field. i know its interference cos the failsafe kicks in momentarily (throttle off, full pitch,) this has happened on all my models from time to time.
apart from that

get it fixed.

She'll come back to life without too much bother.

Have a look at it tomorrow and itwon't seem so bad.

Yep, it was all working fine just after it hit the deck. So dunno, the Rx is history though as i have a JR PCM one sorted to change it for. It was a big glitch, I couldn't get it back despite trying all the way down.


Tom , the blades are toast mate.....

[Jamez]

Oh, you can add to the above list,

Stripped 3152 servo,
Busted Front servo tray,
Damaged Zimmerman Muffler.

Its all in little bits in a wooden box with the lid on.

I'm off for a cry.

[Ashley Davis]

shite ain't it.......god damn rx (mumble T-Rex 500 mumble)

[Jamez]

yep, mumble, crash mumble etc etc

[Sesame]

Sorry to hear about the over enthusiastic landing there James, hope it don't take to long to get back together again.

[Jamez]

Its all rebuilt, with some minor changes, NHP Razor Pros ( Twil finish, mmm ), and an AS40 engine, which I have reconditoned myself. Hopefully its got a little extra grunt in than the 32.
