Bummer man.... You should have showed the cop the crashed heli and begged him for forgiveness and tell him it will cost like $400 to fix it....

Anyway sorry to hear about the crash :(

Wow! :(

Dude, that really sucks! I feel your pain. I have a prized L10 carbon/alloy heli that I absolutely love! My newest addition is the Bionic 24. I could only imagine what it would be like to crash that one. :shock:

Just set back a moment, collect your thoughts and go order your replacement parts. Good news....you'll be back out flying in no time. :mrgreen:

Oh, what a crappy day :(

I had one of those days a couple years ago. It was dark outside, snowing and I was totally desperate to fly. Drove to a open place with some street lights on in and started flying around. It was quite windy and there was a big house nearby that created some turbulence... before I knew it a gust picked up the heli and took it outside the street lights - 5 seconds later the "SMACK" sound. Picked up the debris and started driving back home.... after a couple minutes I heard a SNAP! and the wind shield cracked on my car. Probably a stone that flew off one of the wheels of a huge truck driving really fast in the other direction :arggg:

I feel your pain man, I recently had to plunk down $300+ in fines and court costs for a STUPID charity ticket in NJ, man NJ is crooked as hell when it comes to the court system

Cheer up though youll be flying again soon, and more than likley I will be posting about a massive crash soon. :D
