Two Crashes in one day!

[thedrill]

Well I had a pretty bad day of flying. First I had some sort of servo failure with my hurricane 550. I was banking sharply the suddenly it started gyrating side to side. then it just flipped sideways and drilled into the ground. Stuff happens so I picked up the pieces and proceeded to fly my sexy rexy and after a series of flips and rolls got disoriented and gave full neg. pitch when I should have given positive and drilled it right through the ground.

Hurricane.
Tail boom, MAH CF main blades 500mm, Blade grips, mixing arms, linkages, 2 Servos, Feathering shaft, Main shaft, Main gear, Skid set, Electronics appear to be fine but still need a range check and further inspection.
T-rex
CF tail boom, head links, Skids, $35 canopy, 3 servos, 2200 25c air thunder, main gear, Bottom frame and I am sure to find more on each bird. All I have to say is. It's time for upgradeshttp://www.helifreak.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=29518&d=1193609922

Condolences :-( I think no no i KNOW i would have packed all my gear up after the first smack down and gone via the Bottlo on the way home for a 6 pack to drown my sorrows...hope you get airborne again quickly :-)

Damn - that is TOO BAD!!!

You got me beat ;-)

I noticed that the Hurricane is most likely going to be cheaper to repair. The Trex must have hit Hard.

My record is 3 crashes so keep trying :P

I also crashed my Ion-X and Trex 600 within 2 minutes of each other if you want another goal to shoot for :rolling

Yes the T-rex hit very hard I still have not inspected it to find every thing. I need to give myself a couple of days to grieve. I also need to get my paycheck to order the new pieces. The hardest thing is I just got it set up perfect no vibration, Quiet, Rock solid tail it was acting just like it should hands off hover almost. now I have to start over with both birds. The Hurricaine was having issues so I was still in the process of dialing it in after the last crash- dumb thumbs related unscheduled upside down landing.

That's nothing. When I wasin CA, I visited Arbor Park and Finless and others from the Freak. One Freak member crashed something like 6 or 7 times. Every flight for a while. :)
