I too had my times of crashing. Between RCToys, Spectrolutions and Airdyn. I am sure I put them all on the map with my rotor purchases. But you know what I found? I found that it was not all my doing. Yes, like most I crashed and burned due to my inexperience. But the learning curve got worse and worse instead of better. And after sending the board back and forth for repairs it is finally running the way it should.

The one thing that happened was that I had the board repaired again and at the same time I won an auction for the frame stiffeners. The new board and the stiffeners went back on the flyer at the same time. Given that, I don't know what helped the control issues but the flyer is soooo much more stable. Literally I can give it full throttle and shoot it up like a rocket (without Ti) and still have control. I believe in the stiffeners. I thought oh ya, sure, another 20 bucks for some CF tubing. But after winning the auction for 5.00 I took the plunge. Knowing now what I do, I would have easily paid the 20.00 for the CF tubing and associated fittings. So I am not sure it was the stiffeners or the new board or a combination of both but whatever it was, it is resolved! Whoooo hooooo!

Personally the Ti kinda scares me. When I fly it I feel like I have total control of it. But when the Ti flies it it gets the famous (infamous) Ti wobble and does some other autopilot stuff that I don't fully appreciate. I am also thinking that the Futaba transmitter that came with it is not all that good for a helicopter. The trims are really course, and limited. I am upgrading to a spectra equipped hitec transmitter that has digital trims and more fine trim. We'll see... Anyway, just my two cents. By the way, keep all your snapped rotors. I kept mine and will bronze them (like baby shoes) as time permits!
