So I finally had my first decent crash and no not on video or else i would air it. Im flying the trex showing the neighbor boy all the ins and outs of the heli and we went through one battery no problem he was actually a little scared of it which is good. Well during the second battery my WIFE decided to walk across the flying field to us to show interest (actually to see what i wanted for chinese but) I decided to do a fly by when she was behind from left to right hard bank left and then fly by and then hard bank right and when i came across well i screwed up and the blades struck the ground (oh yeah i like flying low). I didnt have time to throttle cut. I will show a picture of the main shaft if someone asks. So set of blades main shaft need to rebuild two cyclic servos feathering shaft and i havent even taken it apart and inspected everything and of course that was the eighth flight today lol. Hope everyone has better luck than me.

He starts laughing then goes into his house, which is pretty much an RC Store now, and grabs the parts off the shelf and is back in the air in 30 minutes lol. Sucks about the crash, yes we want to see pics (you should know this by now) and hope you get it in the air soon. Get a good pair of 3G blades (yes 3G, not 3D) and make that heli fly like it did for me.
