My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Anyone have experience of a Hitec HG-5000 no longer working after a crash?

Crashed inverted today (didn't think it was too hard, very soft grass), however there are now no lights at all on the gyro and no movement at all on the servo.

Is this just the way it goes? Is there anything that can be done? (or time to buy a new one!)

thanks.

I'm always a bit surprised if nothing breaks after a crash not the other way around.

If the wings are traveling faster than the fuselage, it's probably a helicopter.

I crash mine and dropped it off as I work down the street from them. They replaced it for a discounted price.
