Default AMAZING CRASH

I have a story proving the lmh is almost indestructable!!!

i am a new pilot just learning to fly. i purchased my lmh 110 off of ebay and was ready to learn!!! after much practice in my garage , i was ready to take it out and practice hovering in the front yard. well things didnt go quite as planned!!! as i was hovering, i had a hard ground impact which apparently turned the radio switch to the off position, and i had put the heli to full power just before it hit the ground. well the heli took off the ground and went strait up at a slight angle with a full tank of gas. the rate of climb was incredible and didnt stop until it went out of gas, and so high that i couldnt see it anymore. Being a pilot i would think it went about 2000 feet high ( I COULDNT SEE IT ANYMORE)

well i have a house on the waterfront on a lake and the heli took off at a slight angle and headed acroos a bay to the other side---hoping that the heli would stall and go into the water==so as not to hit anyone/thing === this did not happen as i went to far and eventually didnt see it. i heard the engine stop in the air but could not see anything fall from the sky waiting for sev mins to see a splash or someone scream==NOTHING

i decided to drive over to this area--more to see someone coming out of their house screaming at someone- or the police called- as something fell from the sky and ruined their car etc etc

well i found the heli at the side of a raod having hit a bunch of rocks. i presume it must have come straight down as the location was perfectly aligned to the flight path. it was about 1.5 miles away!!!! AMAZING I EVER SAW IT AGAIN!!!!!

damage---broken main blades and a stripped tail servo----back up the next day

NOT FLYING IN MY YARD AGAIN----THE LMH IS INDESTRUCTABLE

IT FELL 2000 FEET AND DIDNT GO INTO THE GARBAGE CAN
