NOT in the wind, they dont have enough lift. Gimme a day or so, I will post my crash video.
BUT on a side note. My tip about the feather shaft that I found on accident. WORKS REALLY WELL!!
unscrewed the screws (only one does) screwed a flybar into the other end, shoved it through, unscrewed damaged feather shaft, screwed on new feather shaft shoved back through and screwed in the other screw viola VERY EASY AND FAST!! :)
now back to flying.....

Bricks
My wife made a brick circle around the sand pit that used to support the pool.

Yup, the winds pushed me down and the blades would not lift as quick as I am used to.

Hopefully it wasn't too bad. What ended up needing to be replaced?

What kind of blades are you using now and how do you like them? Also, which site did you buy your blades from? I will need some blades since mine are a bit scratched up :YeaBaby:

Actually the ones in this crash were pre-crashed carbon night blades, now I just have straight carbons on them but will be swapping them out to the hdx-400 plastic blades I believe I got them from heli-direct, not sure, I order from too many people LOL
Carbon night blades were 99.00 from LHS just by themselves. I got them from Heli-direct for 49. including the charger.
