Yeah, I hear ya.... So I think I told you about how Helimax replaced my last helicopter from the defective transmitter and receiver. Of course I could just send this one in too now but then again I dunno..... I mean it really was pilot error this time so I don't know if they'd cover it under warranty or fix the board. I guess I'll just try and give it a shot because at this point what do I have to lose? I'm an honest person but maybe I shouldn't go into too much details when I send this heli back.......I mean I normally wouldn't try to handle something this way but geez louise, man that company must make a killing off of their replacement parts alone!...... I've spent atleast 40$ in replacement blades, shafts, screws, ect! The heli really is a money pit until you get good enough at flying it, which i feel I had become very good at flying it...... Like you said about the wind though, that's what caused me to hit that tree lol..... It's messed up because when you fly the cx micro indoors you can move forwards and backwards REAL fast but when you fly it outdoors for some reason and even with no wind it doesn't want to move forwards! I was hovering about 20 feet off the ground maybe and a small gust of wind blew it towards a tree... i was able to turn the direction facing the right way and I was pushing all the way forward on the stick for atleast 15 seconds ( I was fighting the small gust of wind) and even with me doing that my heli still was pushed into that tree!

Soooo I guess I wouldn't feel too bad about it if i sent it back just this time and hope they send me back a new one or perhaps fix it for me. Then, lesson learned- NOMOREFLYINGOUTSIDEUNLESSTHEWINDISLESSTHAN2 MPH! And even then I'll make sure I go to a field where there are no trees or any other objects!
