Did the main gear teeth contract before or after the "landing"?
Get her up flying again! The sooner the better!!

my latest artwork.. notice the tails? Very bright! Some might scoff at painting perfectly good CF tail fins.. but I love the visibility this orange and green combo offer. Now to get K&B green tail rotors...

Lobsterman...they got chewed up in the loop. If you listen close I think I took some teeth out when I kicked it into idle up. As I went inverted in the loop and gave it negative pitch, I lost power as the motor just started spooling without turning the main gear.

Blew out the heli with an air compressor..let dry in front of the woodstove for about an hour. Changed out the main gear and took it back up. Thats when I shot the 2nd video.

Nice - tricky place to fly a heli that big

So you really are a Thai boxer then? That stuff is hard core - goes great with helicopters, although I bet a Thai boxer could do more damage

We do a mix of a few styles, everything is a hybrid these days. There is a lot of talent in the academy here, way more than I am capable of.
