    I had a dumb thumb with my OXY 3 GL this last weekend.

    Landed perfect after a great (for me) flight.

    Hitting TH, my hand rolled and thumb moved the Aleron stick.

    Yep, OXY flipped on side and a small chicken dance.

    To my surprise. Only a small bend in spindle and small dent in boom (boom still flyable) and main blades.

      That`s awesome that there was very little damage. I have heard that those OXYs were tough machines, and that is the proof right there. :)

      Incredible. A small heli that is tough is the best kind of combination. Considering the OXY spins at such high rpm... very impressive.
