Incoming....there goes another

[barney]

My 2nd 600N Flybar to have snapped in flight this year.. I must be doing something right!

I had one go on me two weeks ago. Exactly the same. Luckly its fairly uneventful when they go.

Cripes the physics of the heli must go mad..

Have you any control when they break or is it pot luck.

I was there when Matt's snapped, was quite suprised how laid back about he was!!

Just out of interest, how many flights on the heli before it gave way?

I think mine had about 100 flights on it. The only thing I noticed is a vibration with a slow cyclic controls.

[moyesboy]

Is this the long or the short flybar?

[mattie-lodge]

Mine was a 440 mm flybar. Not too sure about Barneys.

Kind of feel a bit bad here taking over your thread. Sorry dude

[barney]

Both of mine have been on the 440mm bar..like Mattie said its pretty uneventfull because the 600N uses a flybar cage (good reason to have one on any heli you buy)

First Time It happened I flew the tank out, about 5mins and wondering why my piro flips were a little slower! I admit that first one had a bit of previous history

The bar above is only 3 weeks old and maybe 30 flights..

Never seen that before, did you find the paddle?

[moonmanflyer]

Never seen this before, will check my old 600 though as the flybar on that is a year old now.

[barney]

Yes Greig both times I got the lost paddle...just as well they are the originial thin 12g carbons.
