Mentone.
Did that little trick oppostie side of the bay to you down at Ricketts point beach.
This time of the year its dead empty mid week so I go for a zoom out over the rocks and water there, adds to the scenery and fun a bit.
Had the video on looking for a head shake its developed and wasnt putting all my attention to the flying, Im pretty sure I just dropped it doing the wrong thing, it was close to the deck going downwind.
The cam guy lost all pan tilt control early on and the camera sat back level as you might note in it.
As I came in to land it, dropped the tail in and grabbed the ground.
Still have no reason for loss of pan tilt yet it seems to work.
All Ive found on the heli is a shagged upper clutch bearing, really badly like it gave up in the flight, Ive heard it mentioned bad bearings can cause radio trouble but I really dont think it was the cause.
It didnt glitch or the like just lost pan tilt contact then I dropped it, Im 99% I put in a wrong yaw stick, my first bad stick action with that heli in 2 years flyng it Im a little surprised I did it but I guess time caught up with me there not a bad bearing. |
