My Posts This: Topic Forum | I had to join RR to share this, I'm sure it will get some chuckles. I picked up a Blade 400 a couple of weeks ago and am finally getting the hang of it(still very much the novice). I was on my 5th battery, starting to get nice solid hovers and playing with FF and bringing it back to me. Well, getting close to the end of flight time so I start heading back to where all my kit is stored and ....WUMPH!!!
I see a blade go flying and my poor baby heading to the ground in a hurry. My first thought was the li-po blew. The fiberglass blade broke off at the grip! Haven't hit anything with them, no wobbling or any sign of trouble, just here one second and gone the next. The guys at the LHS just shook their heads and laughed. Said they hadn't seen that since the days of glue together woodies.
Well, that's my first post. Many more crash reports to come!
Not so good at flying but getting really good at rebuilding |
