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

Sorry to read about your baby hitting the ground.
I also had the same crashing problems unitll my piloting skills got better to fly. Your going to crash any ship unill you know your limits. Keep on flying and pushing your skills. It's not the ship, It's you and your learning curve. Slow down a bit and your going to be just fine.

My name is Billm. Cough, and I'm a Heli Holic

I have the same problem, and it's not only about flying skills : we all crash from time to time... For us in Europe there's no local spare source (anymore) so while when I have a problem with my Raptor I can get part the same day, for the Pantera it's really not that easy and quite a bit more expensive. Shame, it's a nice heli.

Thanks for the kind words billm,yes ive been pushing my helis(pantera,trex700) alot this season as my confidence has grown and you quiet right one has to find not only youre limits but the limits of the heli too(in relation to your limits) as ive found there to be in humble opinion quiet a differance in how the two helis fly and respond,but im also one of those pilots that when ive dumb sticked or done something just plain stupid i allways lay the blame firmly at my door,this was just one of those things i dont think any less of the heli( really its the season first i think the last time one went in it was december last year) i like it a lot but spares in the uk are very limited and the shop who stocks it will not replenish there stock after it is all sold and dont want to order from the states all the time or wait where as i can get my heli spares the next day for my trex's,shes all stripped down and in a box so maybe ill put her together again one day but stop flying never and i will keep on pushing as its the only way to learn but maybe not so fast!!Hey at least i landed her feet first could have been a lot worse

Kind regards
