Ah yes you bastard what a disaster. It all started when our club president came back into the pits from the hovering area asking for a pilot that was mode 1. I answered yes the next thing you know I was holding the tx of a potential new members raptor 50 nitro. He explained to me that heli when a hover drifted cool I said thinking this was just experienced. But noooooooo this was Don last week buy himself after he had a couple of our own gurus. So as I spooled it up getting to center stick all good just a smidgen more collective up she goes but noooooooo it tipped over proceeding to slice the boom off turning the blades to CAN (carbon fiber confetti).Standing there in total disbelief I said I DIDNT DO A THING the owner had pretty much it same look on his face. After we CSI ' the scene I checked the gyro compensation both elevator and aileron were backwards. Oh well what can I say. Thank god it was not mine. SO SUFFER CRASH YOU MISSED ME....
But shiz I felt bad. But I'm over now. Eat my shorts crash,

 

It's called pre flight checks...just in case you were wondering....

I was told they were done by Jeff and Brett dargue. Wouldn't you assume it was right Manny.
The owner had changed something he didn't know WTF he was doin.

 

Oh dear, the power of the assumption..... Bloody Crash got ya!
Bet you won't make that mistake again @5Fidy.

Power of assumption. Ah yes assumption is the mother of all Fracken ups. Lol

After the accident I gave the guy a crash pardon and told you might wanna use that
next time.

Scorpion motor, scorpion tail.

This is definitely a case of the Crash Heligod Electronics Curse (commonly known as C.H.E.C) Even though you set everything up perfectly, and it is checked three times, some how he is able to weave his magic and reverse certain parameters. It happened to me once as well. I went through 3 sets of blades while trying to take off. Lucky it was a minip and only the blades needed replacing.

 

Ha ha ha.. Yes very good Simon!

 

Well it seems crash got me today... pulling a full collective power loop and on the way up everything just died.... not much I could do except watch it fall... managed to get it inverted flat for the fatal crash... I'm going with I'm over pulling amps on the bec... it's still the interval yge bec I'm running..

What bec you using? Looking at the polaris 10a

no bec, a 2s straight into the receiver, perfect solution, one less failure point. If I did I'd use a Scott Grey Reactor or a Gryphon
