Tip over on auto, time to go tell the wife

Colin Broughton · 04-02-2015, 08:17 PM

hope it's back in the air soon.

Break away boom design

BP58 · 04-02-2015, 08:21 PM

Of course. I have a local crack dealer that has EVERYTHING in stock.

I set the gov gain a little higher and the tail was twitching, so instead of going home to the pc and listening to that little voice in my head. Let's just work on some auto's!

Looks like a 300 bucker. Boooooooooooo

The boom broke away alright, tearing chunks of the frame with it. Where's that lexan from when the landing gear bracket crunched the frame?

Looks more like a samurai was practicing cutting.....

Thanks Shogun71, that's what happened, I thought I was playing fruit ninja with my kids

Sure made a sweet sound. Like hitting a home run in baseball.

Looks like a crash not just an auto tipover! Hope you get it back in the air soon.

Since it's such a clean cut, a little CA should fix it right up. Be back in the air in 5 mins.

BP58 · 04-03-2015, 03:34 PM

I prefer shoe goo. CA is to brittle

I was wondering how bad learning autos was going to be. Yea, that was pretty bad. Blade grip link snapped sending a Rail blade perfectly into the boom. A servo is acting up too

Lol! It'd definitely be more durable next time

I'm just surprised the cut was so clean. Headspeed must have still been pretty high when it hit. What's the (assuming) cyclic servo doing?
And who is the "dealer" you speak of? I might know him too...

BP58 · 04-03-2015, 04:57 PM

One of the cyclics doesn't always respond. Just doesn't move for a sec if I wiggle the sticks for 15 seconds. So it's 1 servo, boom, belt, servo rod, main blades, landing gear, swash link, and repair/ replace frames where lower tail mount tabs ripped off. How much is that Trex 700 complete kit again

The crack dealer is the one who wants us to fly lower. He has even brought stuff to my house once. Don't want to get in trouble for mentioning their name.

Ouch! Now that's a clean cut.

Wish I could say that I haven't seen the same thing at least once before
