learning the hard way
So today i had a little bit of light left after work. So i rushed to get the blade out looked it over real quick will never make the mistake again got up around 40 feet in the air and before i knew it. it was spinning in circles well i tried my hardest to bring it down easy didn't work so well smashed hard into the ground. so i looked at the damage and sre enough the belt was loose i learn on thing from this always do a good preflight look over.

Did you hit throttle hold when this happened?This is always the right thing to do when the heli spins out of control like that.The heli will stop spinning and you can auto her to the ground.Even if your not good at auto,s the crash damage will be a lot less.

Yeah my last time out I flew 3 packs and on the forth about 3 minutes into the flight she started making a strange chirping sound. Decided to land her and turned out the belt stretched a bit. Tightened up and good to go. But I'll check her over before flight and listen for the telltale chirping sound which I can only imagine is the belt slapping the inside of the tail boom.
