Status: offline 		Well, after having 8 successful indoor flights, I finally made an oops. I was coming out of low forward flight and into a hover, but my little chopper wouldn't slow down fast enough. It smacked into my pool table. That cracked a top blade and bent the flybar. Also, on the way down, it snapped the front left landing gear strut. Not extremely wrecked, just a little banged up. I put a small piece of tape around strut, put a new blade in, and straightened the flybar. I swear the flybar is as straight as an arrow, but it vibrates a little in the tail. I never noticed it do this before. I am wondering if the the vibration could be caused by the flybar, or something else that could have been damaged. And, since the vibration is not too bad, I am wondering if I shouldn't even worry about it. Thoughts?

I did that earlier and thought it was very straight. I tried again and noticed it was alittle bent. Once The battery is done charging, I'll fire it up again and see how it works. Thanks.
