Someone explain to my wife that crashes happen. A lot.

[LEADWORKS]

Crashed bad today. Was doing some forward flight in the ball field behind my house and the heli got too far away, and I couldn't see what it's orientation was in the dim light of dusk, and it rolled over and hit the ground. Throttle was probably at about 90% when it hit. Destroyed all the usual stuff. I need a bigger heli so I can see the thing. I'm half blind in low light, don't you know. My wife started seeing dollar signs. :(

I hear ya, YES, Mrs. Leadworks he will even crash when he is a pro it's just part of the hobby :arggg:

I have no real flight experience and its easier on the sim to stay calm but on the sim I climb higher until I can get a fix on the orientation. I know, sim is NOT the same and easier said then done. Congrats on having the gonads to try, you wont learn unless you push the limits.

Man hate to hear about that! I've been there done that (low-light flying).

Tell the wifey.... "The only way to NOT crash is to NOT FLY!" Not flying is NOT an option.

My signature says it all (I think).

In a perfect world our machines would run flawlessly, we would never crash and our thumb would always make the right inputs for the maneuvers we are performing.:wow2: But that wouldn't be very interesting, so... Crashes happen.:hug: Join the club.:cheers Tell your wife you could be out drinking and womanizing instead.:rolling

Or invite the women over and have the beer fridge close by and do all three at once and when you run low send the wife on a B double E double R U N :YeaBaby:

Is someone can figure out a solution, it will be Lock. :lolol

[eugenefelisco]

Well we all know we are addicts right and the addiction is very expensive. And the rehab will be 4 times expensive also so deal with it.

A very nice solution to a nagging wife. Wife nagging one morning coz of my repairs in my heli. A knock on the door, Honey is that the postman, maybe the cellphone I bought came in now. She said in a very calm voice "really you bought me one". Yes and this is not like any other phone is very very very expensive. How much honey? Well about $700 only plus tax and shipping. What kind of phone? Its a Nokia N95 Honey. Oh you could have bought me something cheaper like the I-phone. I'm thinking to my self if the 400 phone will stop nagging or the 700 one. Well honey do I want to buy you cheap phone common and be realistic. Nagging stops

This worked for me maybe it will on you so carry on.

Just killed my Hurricane 550, doens't even look like a heli anymore. but of course I'll get another one. They should make pills for this, they make them for everything else.
