uhhhhhhhhh......

WTH???????

What the heck happened Rich? Well, besides that big monster of a heli disappearing out of frame, straight up, and a BUNCH of leaves and branches raining down on your beautiful lawn?????

I really liked how your Akita came onto the lawn, at the end, to start a preliminary investigation into the incident.

Was this crash #3 with the HC3sX?

Ah ha, now that 'splains it

The reason your Wife wanted you to buy a 500 size Heli for your 4 month old Son.

She wants you outta the house

Retired at 39

You still have time to start a 2nd career (in case you get bored)

YUP #3...

There is an option in the HC3-SX called ACRO/PITCH..

Captrons version of an emergency bail out function..

In short ..it will level the helicopter in either level or inverted attitude ( depending on which is closer) AND it also adds collective pitch so that it will retreat skyward.

Only thing is it only has ON or OFF and s not variable on the TX... the issue I had was my Rx battery decided to take a powder and glitched the system into the ACRO/PITCH bailout.

That's is all been corrected now, and the reason you don't see much on video..

WE RAN for our lives

And as if all this isn't enough...

Now I need a purpose built test flight helicopter...

The lab never sleeps..

pril250 · 06-22-2011, 07:50 PM

I am sure you can knock one of them up in no time at all, even in your sleep

nightflyr · 06-22-2011, 07:55 PM

Not too sure these days..age is beginning to catch up... and I'm still waiting for the motor/ESC/BEC to be shipped from Cali.

Need this rig done ASAP

pril250 · 06-22-2011, 07:59 PM

What is the urgency

Navigator53 · 06-22-2011, 09:07 PM

Night is one of those rare ones that can go without sleep, just doesn't need it like the rest of us

That is sometimes the case Mel, I think they call it "driven"

If there is anything left of the tree you pruned during your last crash, make sure you do not finish it off.

Good luck on getting it up in the air AGAIN!

May the HeliGods be kind to you, my friend.

Hey Bri, would you like some depleted uranium shells to fire off in Mel's direction? I think he has been around too much of that recycled bunker fuel from the Exxon Valdez that uses to fly his helis with. It is taking its toll.
