Discouraging month
This hobby can be a very rewarding one, but when things go wrong they go big. I have crashed my Shuttle Z .30 Twice this summer now. Today and then almost exactally a month ago. Today I was flying it and it started acting funny, radio glitch pushing full collective. I almost had it down again when it pitched full right and went in hard (in front of a large crowd may I add). Last month I pushed a tank of fuel a little too far and it pushed back, I was unable to autorotate in time. To top it all off I also put my 3D plane in a corn field and piled my Blade CPP in a couple of times. Other than that I have taken my training gear off, started forward flight, stall turns, and thinking about trying some basic aerobatics with my Blade CPP. On the up side, I bet Heliproz loves me, over $300 in the last month almost all of it Hirobo parts. I just had to vent, any one elese have a tough summer?

RE: Discouraging month
Been flying helis for a while and on month into my brand new Raptor I got a case of dumb thumbs in a nose in hover. Tapped the tail on the ground and spun the heli into the ground for a chicken dance finish. Ya, it sucks, but I got new parts and rebuilt it.
On the other hand I have crashed my 450 more than 10 times this summer, only because I don;t care and do the silliest things with it. None the less, it's a bummer.
