Every time I crash one of my heli's or fixed wing is embarrassing. Last weekend I augered in one of my smaller heli's while showing out. The 3D portion went fine and I didn't bounce it off of the ground. Still had about half a battery left so I started practicing high speed low level passes. On the third pass I went vertical, stall turned at the top and started my run. Well somewhere between the turn and pulling out at the bottom of the dive I must have given a little right. Half way down the runway is a cedar tree and I flew through it nose down full tilt lol. Prolly did $400 in damage. Blades destroyed, fractured frame, custom canopy, tail boom, gears, battery, skids, and a few miscellaneous parts. Fortunately I have plenty of spares for the old align and it's stripped and ready to go back together. It just kills me when my friends give me that look and start with the smart a$$ comments while I salvage what's left of my bird and my pride. |
