RE: Ahh the dreaded boom strike.
Dang boom strikes doing autos. That was my first and only damage thus far. Course 43 flights in 1 year is not very many.
Tomi, sounds liked you have progressed along very well.
I'd check those carbon blades very closely. Mine only showed a very small nick in one of them, but it turned out it was cracked. I only found the crack with a little pressure applied to the blade to flex it. You may have bent 1 or both of the boom supports as well, which can probably be straightened.
Nice heli, BTW. I like the flybar control rod setup you have.

RE: Ahh the dreaded boom strike.
Thanks man..
I did check the carbon blades, there seem to be no cracks anywhere except that cosmetic scratch. I'm gonna recheck again, if they're bad, I'm going to buy a set of Mavrikk G4 Pros.
Tailboom supports did bend. forgot to mention that. But they include in the crash kit too.
The flybar control was like $25 bucks or something. Been a while. Forgot how much it was but it was sheeeeep..
