R0XoRiZoR Senior Heliman Location: Austin, Texas - US
| I was test flying my Blade CP Pro after installing some new blades, and the G90 gyro.
Spooled it up in my cul-de-sac, lifted off, everything good to go. At this point my neighbors watched from their garages nearby.
Wind picked up... heli flew back... crashed right into my right shoulder. No damage to me... but at the time i had no idea anyone was watching. I was just trimming it in after the changes. I was so busy with trying to keep the tail straight i missed the chance to correct the rest of the movement.
New blades, tail blades, boom, main shaft, feathering shaft, main gear, and a blade holder.
No bruises/cuts/scrapes. Thanks to the heli gods for that. But my pride was a bit hurt after the laughter errupted from the neighbors :-( |
