RE: your first crash
well whenever it happens, don't copy me.
I wasn't trying to rush it but it was a few months since I did any flying with the heli but it was a calm day and I got going on the coldasack. a few things felt out after the time but I had controll. the heli moved around, landed , I moved too and too much throttle with a side wander and I didn't like things. in the sun I followed and out by this time it was at right angles, I swept it round and piched up speed, a haisty reverse direction and landed on the tarmack. it bounced slowly but it was high so I brought It back down again and that was all I was up for that day, only about 3-4 min all up engine running.
