First Crash

[sookainian]

Today i had my first crash on my baby :arggg:

I was kind of tired after a long day but i still went flying.

So when flying half way i just forget my oritation and i crash my heli :bomb:

Coz it's my first time crashing this Stratus, so can u guys give me some tips on what i need to check and what normally spoil when u crash it ?

Thank you
Kenny

looks not that bad of a crash...

Spindle, flybar, links, tail blades, vert fin, boom, torque tube maybe, gears, servo gears, main shaft, mainshaft bearings.

check all of those.. obviously some of them are broken

Hi Kenny,

Sorry to see your crash... I am curious were you doing 3D flying when you lost orientation? Or just flying around?

Hope you get it repaired soon.

Please post back with what parts you need to fix it, I have just picked up a Stratus and am curious to know whats needed after a small crash.

That really doesn't look too bad. Looks like your canopy even made it through unharmed.

i was doing some light 3D to warm up. But first tank of the day, crash :arggg:

Just strip everything that is broken,

#124-84 vertical fin
#0587-14 tail boom
#0872-9 boom support
#120-5 head axle
#0869 wash out links
#120-10 main shaft
#0303 flybar

Will continue to check tomorrow to see what else is spoil.

yeah you gotta be happy about the low parts that are damaged in that,'

i had a Massive crash with my stratus(lockout) and i have about 1 and 1/2 A4 page of a parts list :shock:

You'll probably want to replace the flybar carrier bearings , they are sacrificial , and I'd be looking closely at the tail drive bevel gear (0866-5 ) for damage , given the tail blade 's seem to have died ...............
