600fbl in the ground inverted

[satgod]

yep messing around and I did it

its a rekit
its about 100.00 cheaper to buy a kit with no electronics than to get the parts

considering buying a copter-x 600e pro clone just to see how it compares

[Commodore8888]

Damn sorry to hear that. Must have been pretty nasty to order up 400 bucks worth of parts :/

Anything salvageable from the old kit or a total loss?

You know the morbid folks are gunna want death photos eventually

(On a semi-related note, you can get a bare bones 600Pro from grand for 500~....but a 450Pro ordered the same way costs almost as much)

gutted for ya mate but i want to see death pictures

[satgod]

here you go
first pic you get the idea to the right you can see the nose of the canopy ripped up

second pic crack in frame

3rd pic bottom back corner of frame ripped out on both sides, left and right frame

4th pic broke gear

5th pic other corner of frame ripped out

6th pic bottom plate cracked along screw

7th picture top of frame broke, servo holder broke

bearings in tail gearbox, and the gears GONE
tt GONE
mast feathing shaft and bearings in head GONE
of course skids, blades and canopy GONE

Throttle hold doesnt do much when your a few feet in the air inverted

Damn shame....I feel for ya.

I've seen new kits on ebay recently go for $425.

Here is one ending in 4hrs and it's at $300 w/ free shipping!

Wow that is pretty bad. Must have been a violent one.

[stanley1]

sh1t that is bad, its gonna happen to me soon i know it. unlucky

[NRPY]

Sorry to hear man. The new kit should go together quickly, and soon you'll forget all about this.

[Commodore8888]

Damn that's rough. That's the worse I've seen a 600pro frame cracked up. Were you flying FFF inverted when it happened? Or just straight positive pitch :/

At least the expensive stuff in these helis is the electronics.

The positive note is that for whatever reason, the 600Pro kit is comparatively rather cheap when compared to stuff like the 500EFL or 550.

[byter182]

Ouch... Sorry to here that man.

Here's one that may not be that bad of a deal if your motor's shot too:

yep low fast forward inverted and into a horizontal tic toc and it all went bad

I will stack my old frames on top of my new frames and I personally think the most expensive part of this heli is the frames 60.00 each, no blocks, bearings (NOTHING) just the frames

I want g10 but they dont make them for the 600efl (600e pro)

[504Rone]

How did the batteries make out?

[satgod]

I had the 4000mah sky lipo 40c batteries in
they have a alloy plate in them for protection
the batteries are fine
I as totally supprised
had it been my voltz packs I would have probably lost the bird to lipo fire

[Commodore8888]

A plate huh? That's pretty cool especially if it seems to work that well and even more so being on a "lower end" pack. Heck, my Hyperions didn't have that and I haven't seen high dollar stuff like TPs having it either. Might add a little weight, but could be worth it for less "taco'age"
