Crashed my RC helicopter. - Turkey - 2012-02-06 19:37

I've been gradually leaning how to fly a single rotor 4-channel RC helicopter over the past couple of weeks. I'd been progressing quite well until recently, when I had my worst crash yet. Unsure

I'm not quite sure what caused it. I took a little power off to bring it back down and then it tipped to one side. Looks like I'm in need of some spare parts now.. Whoops.

Hahahahahahah!

I suppose it could have been worse. It's fixable and spare parts are on their way.

Main reason I never bought RC stuff, I'd crash it anyway Tongue

That reminds me of how my brother crashed his.
He was flying it around a parking lot, when it suddenly started to smoke. Then it had a power cut and fell to the ground.
Lesson learned: Never put 3rd party LEDs into a RC helicopter.
Although he had luck and he only killed the bat and melted the canopy a bit.

Lol. Unlike with gaming, you make bloody well sure you don't make the same mistake again, because if you do it will cost money.

I had one...once. It was only a £30 one and had limited controls. I was really enjoying it, until a gust of wind took it and blew it halfway across the town I live in and I never found it Sad

My parents refused to get me anything RC that flies, they claimed the rotors were too dangerous >_>;

RC helicopters vary hugely. The heli i used on my video could probably take you're little finger off, but many with twin rotors (like the T-43 for example), have soft rubber edges on the blades and they're also flexible - they won't even leave a mark if they catch you.

I got a couple R/C helicopters, a tiny dual rotor, and a pretty large one, 1.5-2ft long. The dual rotor one broke the landing gear when it crash landed, and I can't fly the large one due to the closest park being a tad bit too far to get to on foot and the battery lasts just over 10 minutes, the main solution is to get batteries for the base, but they are either C or D types.

Lol Turkey.

I brake stuff so much my parents bought me a crashable R/C car that fixes itself after a crash.
I drove it full speed down the stairs like 5 times. Still works. (if I didn't loose the battery charger)

MAYDAY... MAYDAY... Tongue

Helicopters are complex beasts. Ask Colin McRae. R/C ones are the same as the big ones, but everything happens a hundred times faster Wink

Looks like forward collective and wind...

Hope it gets fixed soon anyway (But I'll stick to boats Tongue)

RC heli's are amazing to fly, I used to have one until my on/off button broke lol.
Too bad the wind has an awfully large impact on them :/
