Default CG Ultimate Control Throws

Well she flew .... and she had her first crash. All in the same flight.

I checked everything 5 times started her up and she flew great. I was doing tail slides spins you name it.

Then I here this beeping noise. HMMM. I don't think I have been up the 8 minutes I set the timer for. Yep it was the TX battery warning.

I tried to compose myself but it was too late. I tried to force her down and she did just what I said. In my haste to get down i had forgot to turn off high rates and ended up giving her more down than I had anticipated on final.

She prompty slammed the wheels down then flipped over.

I was going slow enough that it looks like I just broke the prop.

So now I am 0 for 2 on props. I am so glad that is all that I am having the replace mind you.

DOOHH. That is two rookie mistakes! Shame on me!

The big deal to me was there was a record turn out at the field ......... I hate doing stupid stuff in front of other people.
