That's a pisser, oh at least I know who's to blame - I was thinking it was my bloody stupidity, why did I give rescue a go.

Oh well at least it's only cost me a set of blades, well one blade but the undamaged one can't fly on it's own. I think I have half the field in my sink, bloody gunk everywhere. She'll back to looking all pretty and will hopefully have the blades before too long.

 

Yes I think I left someone behind by mistake @Ben...

 

Thats f#@kd up. Totally sucks!

 

Bah wasnt that bad @gonehelimad ...The photo above was not actually his goblin. Its a nice heli though, 770 on 14s... Monster!

 

Oh for those playing along at home - I believe I've discovered the reason for the motor-cut. Seems on the fandangle VControl that it's not a good idea to have the rescue and security features linked to the same switch, 3 position switch POS1 was active, Center and POS2 were secure - Center just happen to be rescue as well. It's so bloody obviously looking at it after the fact.

 

That sounds like a mistake I would make.
(note to self- re-read this thread when new MSH-Brain is secured.)

 

Its easy to do! Using auto recovery is great IF you can remember which button it is and IF it is setup right. I have seen morey helis crashed from using auto recovery than saved. BUT if you do set it up right and train your self to hit the right switch then its a great learning tool no doubt.

 

Though as you also mentioned, and as per the case of this thread, it is human setup error that causes the crash.
Maybe 1% of cases where it is a hardware/software issue.
Rescue is a great tool, and is here to stay.
Use it, don't use it - either way it will always be there for you

 

I use CGY750 still no rescue features... Come on Futaba...

I will remain rescue free and rely on brain rescue. The real brain that is.

 

I wouldn't have put much consideration toward "rescue", but having discovered the price points of Brain/Ikon V1 are within my reach, I'm going that route... regardless of the self-leveling feature, which is more of a bonus than a requirement for me.

 

Yeap. Brain is good. I have them now on two helis.
