Flight No 2

I really wanted to see my blade CP fly...
The wind was calm (actually .. there was no wind), I decided to go out and try it again...

Soon has I got out, all the kids in the street ran up to see what was that little yellow thing. I had to go over safety instructions for about 5 minutes and 15 minutes of show and tell before I could put the bird on the ground and plug the battery. I started slowly, trying to hover and for 3 second the heli was stable. To show off for the kids I decided to put more throttle. Bad idea... The Blade CP started to spin out of control and headed straight for a huge tree. I cut the throttle but it hit the tree and the ground at the same time.. Lucky me, I only broke the main rotor blades (thank god they include a few spare part in the box) and the tail rotor and right landing skid dismantle. The fact that almost every thing on this heli is held in place by small piece of fuel line makes is great. In most crash stuff will just dismantle instead of breaking. Save a lot of $$ on part.

Flight No 2 last about 15 seconds. The kids all seam to like the crash and help me find the pieces in the grass.

It's now time for my fist blade change...
