A little break from the revision and a walk with family was going so well until....

A link decided to pop halfway through a flip.

My wife decided to video this flight, and stopped just before the swearing started. She didnt video the first flight, which was of course, flawless.

enjoy:

James, back to the revision for me now, its cheaper.

damage isnt too bad, well not at first look.

Lipo has a very small tear in the heatshrink
flybar is good for use as a paperclip
blades are obviously going to need replacement

Will test the rest of it after the exam (8 days and counting)photo(8).JPG

You should be revising James and not flying helis.

ooops! Are the exams an ongoing thing (like plumbers for ever doing courses) or are you not 100% qualified yet??


Just realised you are a kind of plumber

This is my last exam before I am eligible for a consultant post (still have a final 2 years of training as well). Once I have this I wont have to take another exam (and probably wont have any need to) for the rest of my life

Get back to the books you rebel you!!

Get back to the books you rebel you!!

Yes Yes, im already back to them

I have a spare 450 head so thats the flybar bit sorted, but no blades, so thats pretty much any chance or nipping across the road for a quick fly between revision sessions gone , plus I really think I should get some new links after that....

[jimmyhorns]

plus, its got some pretty crappy cirrus analogs on the cyclic, so I probably should think about changing them out too
