once again

[ady]

having bumped into mr MAJ this morning long time no see and pleased to see ya again , i forgot that i have destroyed my 550 rex after destroying my goblet last week not much left , from the pics it even split a bearing block , killed the 2 x 3300 li-po`s n canopy , shafts , gears ,auto hub , swashplate , hub , grip , and everything else , including the li-po`s and canopy , i got to just under 500 quid for replacement parts . luckily the wife let me get a little 500 to tide me over and last night picked up a cheap 600e pro , converted to dfc

Bloody hell...!! The lipo in the first pic looks mad!! Did it go in nose first? Surprised that impact hasn't caused thermal runaway in that pack

I guess if no cells were punctured though..... although i thought severe bumps could also start em off

Oouch! Makes me cringe - im just getting back into the hobby after a lengthy time out and boy this brings it back home! Good to see its not dampened your spirit anyhow and where did you find the such an understanding wife?? Nice back up heli's by the way!

[Varelco]

Ady I don't think I've ever seen you crash a heli lightly lol. That thing is annihilated

The li-po that shot out was even worse , I have got used to crashing , I can't do sims , too old or just can't be arsed , plus can't get near the pc , the wife hates heli's but she let me put the 500 on the credit card , with the understanding , that I'll pay it off before Xmas and for some reason , my heli's always explode the 600 will be used once the 500 is no more , luckily again it's a no fly for us , do the 500 survives another week gotta love the hobby ain't ya

wow those 550's sure crash pants !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not saying you didn't use it but I always fly with my finger on the hold switch , that really reduces the damage when i crash .

I also find I have crashes in groups , none for months , then bang all in the deck !!!

good luck fixing it .

Almost as bad as a Logo! At least the plastic skids seemed to have survived. Good luck with the 500 Ady.

throttle hold was on but i tend to fly too low when i`m enjoying myself this one won`t be rebuilt as its gone to the tip already . i think my MDF rex 550 crashes looked better thanks one and all for your support
