  • Agile is NOT so fragile!!

    Thankfully.

    Put it in nose first into the hard ground today after I lost the tail.

    Thankfully the damage appears to be restricted to main blades, skids, rh frame and canopy but considering how hard it went in I got away friggin lucky.

    But the best thing was I had the GoPro on board filming lol. Couldn't wait to get my laptop out of the car so we could watch the footage. Will upload it in a bit

    Couldn't hit bail out as it was very close to the pits over to the right where my car was so just shouted I had lost control and hit hold trying to level it out as i just pulled it upwards as it went, doh. Looks like my fuse might be busted too. Was straight nose in

                I'm confused Ben, hitting bail out is as fast as hitting throttle hold, I'd also say safer.

                For my 1st few flights with the 3SX I was very aware that my instinct was not to hit bail out but after 10-12 flights with mine it is becoming engrained in me to let it do it's thing and be thankful.

                  How did that blade manage to pull out of the grip?

                      My first instinct is to hit bail out. Im so used to that by now trust me. Saved me many a crash and many a $ but as the tail was out of control and it was vertical and near the cars I knew by just hitting hold it would come down where it was. As much as I didn't want to

                      It didn't, this was after I had taken the blade off Ronnie said you didn't get a pic so I put it back on the deck for the pic as you do lol.

                      Mamma wise

                      Because it gets worse, I can not believe this.

                      You will not believe this.


                      Just watching the vid and I still can't believe it. It was a disaster waiting to happen.



                      I never strapped my lipo's down, only held on by velcro. Testament to Velcro!!!!!

                        So something broke on the tail mid air?
