RE: axe cp thread
I have some really bad news.
Was flying in my front ward when it happened. I was flying fine for the first hover. When I put her down the tail struck the ground and broke. This was not so Bad.
I then made A $30 mistake. I fixed the Rotor with tape.
I got it into a hover and was fine, then drifted to for forward towards my nieghbor's car. Can't hit that. Gave it more throttle, fine glidded over it.
Started to drift toward the steet, pulled her back to me. On the way the tail rotor tipped a twig on the tree. Disaster, The fixed tail blade ripped off. The one blade held her fairly still though, but see started to spin slightly and leaned way to the right. Made the correction and she leaned way to far to the left and lost way to much altitude and just dropped. When the heli dropped to the ground the tail mount snapped and the Tail motor assembly flew up and hit me in the arm. Didn't pay attention to it. The blades continued to spin and smash into the tail boom. Bent it to a fouty five degree angle. Oh and while the tail motor flew off it cut through the tail motor extension wire.
