My Posts This: Topic Forum | Hi all
well after a very interesting season thus far it all ended with a bang,the heli had just come out of a flip and was put tail down to do a tail slde when my tail pitch control lever pins came out of the tail pitch plate(looked like a bulldog had chewed it)anyway lost tail so hit full negative and flaired her before she landed skids first not bad but the field is bumpy so she toppeled over,bent boom,main shaft(very minor but bent),cracked canopy one blade nicked and that tail lever pitch plate just chewed.So it was fun while it lasted but have a new trex600 nitro pro with os55hz that needs building so needless to say wont be repairing her but proberbaly sell the heli for spares,repairs.There are such nice people that i have met and talked too and have been so very helpful and if i have a query wont hesitate to ask again,many might ask why not repair but cost wise for me in the uk in the long run its not something i want to do and ive allways flown align products(no people not because i think they better its just my personal choice i like them!!before i start another storm)anyway all take care best regards Loop boy |
