I really hate to crash, but

Well. it's been a long time, but I had a doozy this morning. Was on my second battery on my Belt CP V1 and i don't know what happened, but into the pool fence railing I went. I think the wind got into it. Pretty sure it was my fault. Just seemed to drift into the rail before I realized it.

Damage report: bent flybar, broken flybar case, slightly bent main shaft, and yep Fatdaddy, those beautiful Maveric carbon blades I got from you are history. Sorry about that. I can't believe it, but the feathering shaft seems to be ok.

I've replaced the flybar and the flybar case allready, I'll replace the main shaft and put the old woodies on tomorrow and then set everything back up.

Boy I hate crashes.

Well noooo sense in you havin nice stuff!!!!!LOL Yup it's makin me really nervous!! Haven't crashed in a while and I know its coming!!!!! I don't want to crash again!!!!LOLO

crashing sucks but i think its fun to rebuild the heli's ..

.....i had a stupid mistake too work up early 7 am to go fly so cold in the morning spooled up and it just spun in circles finnally realized i stripped out the tiny gear were the belt connects on the main inside the frame its suchs a to get to that gear gotta take apart the frame and sweeze it out

realized it happened last night that when i caught a a shoe lace in the tail it stipped the gear when i was setting up to fly for today

Yes dude that really sucks!!! I stripped it once on my Screamer.. Luckly I had a spare so I wasen't down long.. Mine actually happened in flight, least the last bit of it.. Its tough to land when your spinning like a top!!!! But I did manage to get it down..

im so pissed too i wanted to fly today now i gotta wait till fri to go to bp hobby warehouse sucks u can only go there on fridays...

last time this happened i had a rough tail landing and stripped the bottom part of the tail gear this time i broke the top and my dumbass threw away the gear not knowing down the road i would need the top peace that was still ok

Yeah, it had been awhile. Bad thing is, not only the damage to the heli, but it snapped off the finials from two of the fence pickets. Ive got some spares, but I gotta figure out how to get the pickett out of the plastic fence rails. Yuk Yuk.

The old Belt CP is back in business, baby. Of course it has my old repaired stock woodies, but it flys real good. I even got em to track.

Hey Fatdaddy, you got any more of those Maveriks layin around you wanna get rid of for the same price. I'll help you out and take them off your hands. Of course, I wouldn't do it for anybody but you.
