john haz Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Hi Guys, i spend long enough asking questions, so thought it only polite to post some amusement for you all weds I took my 500 heli, one 450, the lightning, mustang & mitchell to our local field for a little practice, all started off well throwing the 450 around, then a bit with the 500 until my XT60 plug decided to break while fitting the battery - no harm done. mustang motor mount has been iffy for a while & finally came loose, so didn't fly that. I then decided to run the mitchell along the grass to see how it handled it - the plan was to shut the throttle if she started to lift. Well, it did lift & i couldn't resist so gave it everything & she went up a treat. Did a couple of big circuits & landed it (bit hard but no damage). I then waited for our club chief to arrive for some moral support, repeated the above & before I got in the air one of the ESC's was smoking like a train !! New esc's & a ubec on order. Then decided to have a go with the lightning, took her up for about 7 mins & had a cracking fly, on landing I completely screwed up & came over my head (BAD !), lost orientation & stacked it very hard Took it home in 5 or 6 pieces. Spent all Weds evening with copious amounts of glue. Tried her last night, it flies surprisingly well & will live a bit longer ! Still smiling, they havn't beaten me yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
