If you need to replace any damaged parts "its a crash"

Not a crash

By the way. I don't really consider them crashes. More like stupidety and carelessness since I had been planning on heading home or inside.

Whatever the case your welcome to give me a call and come by and fly any time.

RCHP The good ole times are now

If you can't immediatly within 10 seconds take it off again, it is a crash,,

A good landing you can walk away from. A great one & the aircraft can be reused.

If it's got wings I can fly it......Waddya mean no wings!!!???

I go by this

crash 1 (krsh)
v. crashed, crash·ing, crash·es
v.intr.
1.
a. To break violently or noisily; smash.
b. To undergo sudden damage or destruction on impact: Their car crashed into a guardrail. The airplane crashed over the ocean.
2. To make a sudden loud noise: breakers crashing against the rocks.
3. To move noisily or so as to cause damage: went crashing through the woods.

Basically this means if it doesn't make a loud noise it isn't a crash. And if the damage isn't from an impact it isn't a crash. So tip overs are not a crash because it wasn't a sudden impact with the earth. Unless of coarse, the tip over made a loud noise in which case it is a CRASH!.

Thanks

IT's what I do.

Well, does landing in the water count as a crash? The only loud noise is when it goes KAPLUNK in the water.

Are we really supposed to keep score?
Yikes - Blade CP - probably about 70 flights & 68 crashes
Blade 400 - 15 and 6
Getting better but poorer

Not so good at flying but getting really good at rebuilding

i would say it's an incident

Fly the blades off it !!

I'd dump the CP, they are just waiting to break again even if your not flying them! I work once in a blue moon at a LHS and they asked me if they should get any more CP or other cheap helie's, I think in the long run they case more people any form the hobbie then they help. We sold a lot of parts though!

In full scale helie, a tip-over is a called a static rollover, not a crash, but if you have ever seem one you'd call it a crash because that chopper isn't flying any where fast!

Not a crash?

I had a "static rollover" this morning on takeoff with my 450. I set the heli down got the blades spinning gave it some throttle and it just leaned over to the right. Blades stopped instantly but I could hear the motor still running. Hit throttle hold and tried to figure out what happened. I’m guessing I gave it too much throttle to fast and sheared the main gear bolt. I have a nick in one blade, broken grip link and a bent feathering shaft ohh yea and 3 pieces of a bolt. The one skid never left the ground so it can't be a crash right? I didn't even get to fly it.
