What did you do with your Mini Protos today?

[CrashAddict]

Well, can't comment on 3D performance of HK360's but they don't feel a lot different just bobbing around. They do seem to require a bit more collective to leap off the ground than the Lynx. They also seem to be less stiff than other blades I have. I have 5 sets of the HKs and I am flying the ones that needed the most tape to correct and I don;t notice any serious wobbles. Of course, Im not even sure if my mainshaft is straight right now either. Mini P with vbar seems to fly ok even when the mechs are all boffed up.

I installed some new tail grip bearings and new tail blades, oiled all bearings, silicone sprayed the belt. Checked the main grips bearings. Just a good old maintenance once over. I am planning on a full day of flying this weekend. Hopefully I can get in 12-15 batteries

I did notice some slop in the swash tho, not too bad
I also installed my Radix blades, I am planning on bringing my Edge and HK-360's on Saturday.

Dumb thumbed mine today... Simple backwards inverted pass low on the deck and circuits just shorted in my head

Considering I clicked throttle hold about a half second before it hit the ground rotor first, resulting damage is not bad - bent main, spindle (together with all the usual) and busted top main shaft bearing...plus blades and canopy, which was already on its way south for about 6 months anyway.

OOHH, sorry to hear it ! This is why I love my hc3sx's though. That split second of hitting throttle hold and hitting captain recue instead would have pulled the heli straight up out of harms way. I am now spoiled LOL!

Haha, true I have the SX on my Fusion, never used the rescue so far, though. I'm still tuning my tail, it has some annoying tendencies in harder moves...
