Default RE: How often do you crash?

Yeah just discovered the featherin shaft is also bent, so just sent off for one also.


ORIGINAL: ATVAlliance

Havent crashed a real heli in well over a year. Crash them every 30 seconds on the SIM though. A lot cheaper to crash on the SIM than the "real deal". LOL

If I were a betting man...Id bet that your featherin shaft (shaft that connects both main rotor blade grips) is also needing replaced. Ive only had 3 crashes...from "mild" to "wild" and in every crash I bent the feathering shaft. Actually bent all 3 shafts (main, feathering and tail rotor).

I have an abundance of all 3 shafts in the parts box now.
