My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Well it was bound to happen. Trying to hover in the ole front yard when my wire broke on my lipo killing all power. Could have been much MUCH worse!!! Had no control of the heli, I was dead stick but luckily I was only 1 foot off the ground. THis is my first crash. It took it about 7-8 seconds before it slowly rolled onto it's right side and buried the mains in the dirt. Not to much damage though. Tail tube, main blades, tail rotor control rod and some small parts that I had. All in all it was a learning experience. Time to retire that old 2in1 for a new one!!! THe stupid wire keep breaking.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		It was strange, I was flying about a week ago. Finished a flight and gassedback up and was fixing to fly again when I noticed the 2in1 not lighting up. Checked plug connection and + and - wiires broke off the deans plug. Grounded that day. Went home and soldered them back tried again a few days later and about 5 min into flight NOTHING. Same wire broke again, very odd. Not worth taking anothert chance, going to buy a new. This was used when I got it and in rough condition so I will just get a new one. Almost back together, just got to get the 3 parts in.
