Fisher Price: My First Crash!

DMC970 · 03-16-2012, 10:57 PM

On its second flight ever I lost power to the motor from about 15-20 in the air,
did a HARD auto into the ground. Completely my fault as I didn't plug one of the EC5
connecters all the way and it vibrated loose.

Just finished rebuilding and the only damage was a bent grip linkage, front landing strut
one landing pipe and a set of blades!

Feathering shaft, main shaft and all gears were untouched. Very impressed!

No doubt, the most durable 90E out there. Last year at IRCHA when I took a close look at the X7 my first thoughts were, "Man this thing is going to crash good" , then I thought WOW, I want one..
