So i took my Blade 450 3D out for its maiden a couple weeks ago and i got it off the ground but it was short lived because even though it was only at just enough throttle to get it up off the ground about 3 feet i didnt let off the throttle fast enough to get it to the ground and slow or stop the blades fast enough before the blades hit a ladder that was in my back yard on the ground against my fence. it had drifted towards the fence but i thought i could of corrected before it got to close but was proven very wrong. My question is this even though i broke the blades but not to bad i did notice that the flybar that is on it still is slightly curved or bent on both sides in the shape of a half moon but not even close to that severe so can i just bend them back to straight and call it good or should i just replace it? remember Im brand new to flying and not only was that the maiden for the heli but it was also my maiden flight too so i would rather keep the flybar on for now because isnt it easier for beginners to use one? Plus i also own a fully upgraded Align 450 flybarless when im ready. luckily for me even though i didnt know before hand the stock blades on my Blade 450 3D where only wood because if they had been Carbon fiber i probably would of messed up my heli pretty bad seens how they wouldnt of broken near as easily.thanks tom
