Arhhhh nightmare

[Markb1985]

First flight went bad soon as it was in the air couldn't control it went right not even a foot off the grass only damage is this I think do I need a bar or any 1 in Blackpool or ne'er can straighten for me ???

Unlucky, you need a new boom matey definately and you need to check for other damage main shaft, feathering shaft etc..looking at the boom check your blades too.

[Markb1985]

Yah a blade gone but replaced it can u link me what I need mate

[Markb1985]

Only damage was this and a blade

[st200ol]

If you change just one blade, which you shouldn't really do, make sure you balance them properly.

Its normal to change both blades even if one looks OK.

What helicopter is it?

[Markb1985]

Yah am changing both mate

this Tail Boom H45096 / align trex 450 Sport / Align T-Rex Spares - ALIGN-TREX.co.uk RC Model Helicopter Specialists in ALIGN, E-Flight, Blade, Goblin, Synergy, ALeeS, Outrage, ELY-Q summising its a trex 450 sport?

[Markb1985]

It's a century gl450 but a align boom part

[st200ol]

Check the feathering spindle too, easy way is with the blades off, put a driver on the spindle bolt and turn it clockwise a few turns, watch both blade grips for any up/down movement.

Mark, don't take this the wrong way...
Have you flown a heli before? I only ask as your new on here.
Do you belong to a club or fly with someone that knows about rc helis?
As Simon1 posted, align-trex.co.uk will have all the spares you need..

[Markb1985]

I was to impatient haha no not any club just used a sim

[Markb1985]

Shaft is ok I think wasn't even in the air went in its side straight away

buy a mcpx and learn on that, once u can hover and fly it about then return to your 450, but until then i'd fix it and shelf it.

i'm about to recommend this to someone else IRL, they bought a copterx 450 pro FBL TT for a 1st heli, big mistake! i repaired it for him but i canny see it being in the air for more than a few more secs before its on the bench again.

Good advise but I started to hover a CP helicopter with no crashes and very little RC flying experience.

Tips are/were back then to fit training gear, take it very slowly and follow the advise on Radd's school of rotary flight page. Worked for me!
