    Of course we all crash, but what was your worst - absolute worst crash ever! Should be interesting.

      On a TREX 450 I had the only surfing parts were the ESC/Flybarless unit and side frames survived. Everything else trashed. Full tilt into the dirt. Probable would have been cheaper to buy a new heli.., lol

      My logo 600 blade delamination made me pretty sad but the most costly was the 600 SX explosion with the ejected jive and broken vbar.

      This has to be my most devastating crash. My Synergy N5, and @Crash Heligod was all over me that day.. I put in yard dart style from about 50ft (about 15 meters) and all but re-kitted it. Broke both frames, both main blades, main shaft bent
      feathering shaft bent. A poo ton of bearings taken out....ruptured the fuel tank, bent 3 cooling fins on the engine. Stripped two cyclic servos, and broke the case on the third one. Trashed my brand new Fusuno canopy....
      it only had 3 flights on it. broke the electronics tray, and bent most of the control rods. It WAS a fun flight up until that point though...LOL

      My Trex 600N le. Inverted climb when the GY520 sensor fell off into the blades & she dropped. (I loved that bird).:( Both frames, most servo's, blades, all shafts, smashed the head of the HZR55R to a pancake, ripped the exhaust off & took part of the engine with it. I still have the carcass hanging on the wall.

      My worst crash was my Hirobo SDX. I broke the main frames and servo tray, destroyed the head, muffler, stripped every servo gear except for the tail servo, shafts, blah blah blah.

      I was about to buy a new kit and try a JR , however, someone at my club upgraded the head on his SDX to the metal flybarless head, and gave me his head ( yes the guys made funny jokes at the club for him giving me head, hahahahaha), and some other guys gave me a few other bits and pieces.

      So this is where I had to start after the crash. photo-2.JPG

      My crash with my new [to me] Trex 550. I had about a ten second flight and took it home in a body bag.

      Probably the one where you ripped the ys91 in half - but there have been a few!
