Default RE: All right! FF flight.

I did the same thing yesterday. I decided to try to fly in the back yard which is fenced in and doesnt have a lot of room. I had some spectators so I was trying to show off. I would punch the throttle and do about 5 piros and then pull out and lower the throttle. It almost got away from me and I had to do some man-handling but I pulled it out. I should have stopped at that. then I would give it a good bit of fore cyclic. These things can really move fast. right before it would get to the fence, I would put the brakes on. These things are just too fun. Then I tried to punch the throttle and did about 5 piros but when I stopped the nose was facing me and I couldnt get the tail around fast enough. she went into the yard. Bent the feathering shaft and I am sure that it bent the main shaft. That was all the damage except it tore the Tail servo mount. I have a new tailboom to put on since I just straightened it after the last wreck, I also have spare servo mounts and main shafts. I had to order some feathering shafts last night though since I did not have those. I LOVE MY TREX though!!!
