Wrote off AVRO

[sooren]

Oh dear, the Avro was only a couple of weeks old and I totaled her today!
Had it set up for stable mode as per the manual and lost orientation about a 100 feet up. I tried to right it but it was to slow to respond, net result was nose straight into the ground.
Added up the parts but it is not economic to repair.
Forget the airframe, I'm most gutted about the canopy!

SO - I,m after a second hand airframe.

I have attached some pictures from my iphone, sorry about the quality.
These are before and after pictures
These should make you all feel better.
Regards
Paul

Sorry to see such a lovely looking Heli in that shape, hope you manage to salvage as much as poss from it.

There was one for sale either last night or night before on here, worth a look about.

[Downdraft]

Oh mate, I feel for you. Put my 700 in yesterday but only minor damage. That poor Avro and what a beautiful canopy that was.:(

[asomaro]

Paul, really sorry to see that mate, its a real shame. I hope you get in the air again soon.

[Nick B]

:(:(:(

[Boggy]

wow you have my sympathy Paul if that was mine the pictures would have me in them in just as big a mess!!

[sooren]

I can live with crashing the Avro - but the canopy - OUCH!

[Steve]

If any heli costs less than half the price of a new kit to repair, then it's worth repairing in my book. Any more than that, well it may be down to other circumstances.

You sure it's not worth fixing?

[Tim Procter]

Really sorry to see those pictures Paul..:(

The very reason I fly Align with the cheaper options when smacking them in.

Hope you get it repaired or replaced real soon mate..:)

Not a good start to 2010 is it.:(
