Default Bad luck!

OK, has anyone here just had a lot of bad luck with helicopter crashes? I just had 3 in a row! I have about 8 gallons on a 50 under my belt and only recently I have been having bad luck!


My first crash was a botched auto. OK, no big deal, a crash kit fixed that. Well 2 days later My tail gets stuck in the grass while I don't know it and upon trying to do a full speed climb out my helicopter is held by the tail and does a tail stand. I then lowered the collective and it plummets back down and tips over hard. My third one just happened about 2 hours ago and NOT 5 MINUTES after putting on BRAND NEW BLADES I loose complete control of the tail at 6 feet up and slam into the ground. Fortunately I have all the extra parts that I broke this time because I ordered spares of everything.

I'm afraid to fly it again after all my "luck."
