Castle Creations destroyed my heli

[Gareth-71]

I don't know how, because my 550 does not have any CC products on it, but I am sure that somehow CC caused my crash this eve!

Seriously though, a dumb thumb moment. a BAD dumb thumb moment!

The total so far is near £400, so the heli is a write off :-(

Even ripped a cyclic servo out and chopped it up!

Mate, there's bad luck, then your luck. I think I'd choose bad luck.

Was Keith with you?

If so how can you be sure it was CC's fault and not his DX8??

[sacko]

Doh... Looks like a hard one mate :S

Yes he was, and you have a fair point, the blame must be equally shared by CC and the DX8!

Hi

To be fair the 550 is my 'basher' and I have been pushing the boat out with low level stuff, so I can't be too upset.

Anyway AT LAST a crash that was my fault! lol

Gareth

[Mutley]

Yep, And a bloody good one at that :)

Is the "Con"tronic ok ?

Looks a proper mess, James crashed his one and it was a right off, just like your one..............

That looks like a bad one Gareth, sorry to see.
I want a 550 too but not so sure looking at that how well they crash, did it go in on power? or did you hit the hold?

Hi

Well, I was doing low (very, very low 1") flips etc and crashed doing a vertical dive with inverted stop just 1" off the ground (or -1" in this case), so no chance for TH.

I can't blame the heli, it went in HARD, I think any heli would have suffered extreme damage!


About the 550, well you know what I have in my fleet, and I keep flying the 550. Despite the fact that I personally don't like align products I must say that the 550 is fantastic. Absolutely fantastic.
