Crashed? Discussion and Photos > I trashed my R90SE :(

Hi, I'm not sure if I should post this here or in the servo/gyro forums but I'm sooo down that you'll understand.
I crashed both my helis yesterday (R70 and the SE)

I'm trying to save as many parts as posible (damage control is up to $800 and counting). The question is, the gyro (Logitech 6100) still works but it needs a new case (and may be need to get sent for a full check) is there any place that sells the case for that gyro?
I'm in Costa Rica so I wonder if with all the shipping and things would be cheaper to get a new one???

Any input???
Thanks,

Two in one day?....ouch.
It may be cost effective to start with a brand new kit. You may just have to do the sums. The benefits of a new kit are that you may then have some spares for the new heli from the crashed bits.

What caused them to go in?

R70 lost the tail and down it went. Not much just boom, shaft, blades, canopy.
The R90 SE, not sure what happened I was doing inverted hovering and pulled up inverted, I rolled upright and went to non stopping rolls. I brain farted and went down hard full throttle.
Boom, shaft, landing gear, main gear, S9351 servo, MP5, blades, paddles, flybar, main shaft & spindle, servo tray, fan shroud,canopy, some other bits and pieces. I managed to reconstruct the gyro and it seems to work ok but looks horrible

The heli is almost fully repaired but I'm short of the pipe and cannot get it here so I'll need to see what can I order from the US.
Not sure if I should wait for the MP6 to come out or start looking for other options (I'm not paying $180 for a Hatori no matter how good they are:rolleyes

Wow, at $800 you'd probably be better off just buying a used SE off here. Then with the rest of the money, fix only one of your machines.

Two in one day

If I take three heli's to the field, and crash one, the rest go back in the car, I never crash two in one day, when you have negative things going on, you can't seem to stop it until another day.

Good luck on the rebuilds

Agreed. I bring 2 heli's to the field. If one goes down, I sit and chill for a bit with the guys, but no more flyin'

I also have a couple of gyros that look like crap due to me gluing and taping the cases back together. But they work fine so I keep them hidden on the chopper now, both to protect them in a crash and to minimize the comments when at the field.
EDIT, I meant gyros, not servos.
