Default New Blade 450 3D up in smoke!!!

You can see my original post from a few days ago when i bought a new 450 3d. I have had it since monday and love this dang thing it flys good for a newb like me. until...





this was going to be my 5th flight and when i started lifting off the ground the bird started smoking pretty bad. the battery was the stock battery and i could tell when each cell on the battery would ignite because a big cloud of smoke would follow. i have many more photos of the carnage afterwards
where the canopy is just a melted ball and the whole front of the heli is basically melted. i called E-flight and they had me send pictures and said they are sending me a replacement asap. they are not even going to require me to send in this one which i thought was quite nice. anyways this was my day how was yours. lol
