| I understand and appreciate your frustration. We have all been there. Some more recently that others. That was me last fall, now things are much better.
At this point I'd recommend evaluating where you are going with this hobby. Some of what you have experienced is expected and unavoidable. However some action could be taken to get going in the right direction. My guidance is to start with the basics, use well know skill building exercises like RADD training as well as quality sim. If you are just starting (and crashing regularly) the skids shouldn't leave the ground.
Next, when considering upgrades and repairs, make selections that will improve serviceability, last longer, and work better. If you were to add $15 dollars to your stated budget, you could get a new brushless motor and ESC. This setup will be more powerful, require very little attention and likely last longer than your heli. If stick with this hobby, you'll be getting this setup sooner rather than later. |
