| Well if the above seems to be childish :-) , my case is even worst.
10 years ago I was flying my concept 10SX inverted by using only a switch.
So, during the first flight of the day I fired up the engine and I advanced the throttle to take off. But the heli never took off, so I reduced collective to verify the Throttle and pitch curve, because I though that it might something had changed. The heli took off when I reduced the collective to idle and moreover moved backwards. I tried to correct it by advancing the stick forward but the heli crashed with the tail. Main blades, feathering spindles etc were the result of forgeting the inverted switch on.
The whole event is recorded in a video tape and what is funny is my expression. I had the impression that it was jamming (Immediately the easiest conclusion). Although, now it seems funny, those days wasn't.
Have a nice day guys!! |
