Your obviously teaching him well James......

......the grass at the DMHC is long outside the flying line, but sadly made no difference to the landing of some helis that ditched today.....mind you these guys were flying on the rails.......

Snap! Mikee.
It was me that stuck the BEAM in today.
Made one hell of a thump. Full power not enough time to hit hold.
Radix blades, feathering shaft,flybar and one-way sleeve sheered.
Everything else fine (I have the hardened main shaft which didn't bend).
Tough birds indeed.

Almost back

Repair update.

Almost repaired the Beam, not having much time to spend on it but in the final stages now.

Thanks to Rob at Evo, fantastic service as always.
Got my bits through nice and quick.

Hope to be in the air by the end of the week.

Must have been a day for crashes, I put my Rappy in as well, not much damage just blades, flybar, feathering shaft & one ball link. Was trying piro's and just lost control somehow & dumb thumbed it!! Oh well should have it flying tomorrow!

Ready for the first flight to re-trim after the prang.
Trouble is it's blowing a gail - Bugger

Hope all goes well on the first flight... Im off all this week and look at the weather.. Doh!!

My beam seems to fly better now after the minor rebuild.. weird or what.. as I did'nt really alter any setting enough to make that much difference

Sorry to hear you had a crash, but good to hear the damage wasn't too bad. Although it's always annoying when you do blades.

All my ins have been just shafts with only the last one bending the boom.

Might be worth checking the bearings particularly the tail and mainshaft.

Hi Richie...

was'nt that bad, been taught by an expert heli crasher.... you... lost it in the sun,didnt know what was what.. got it down to 20ft and hit throttle hold. A bit of neg and full pos pitch as it as just about a foot up..about a tenners worth of damage
