UPS Came!

Ouch. I was messing around with helis today on the sim for the 1st time in a while. Thinking about getting the MCP x out and trying the 3mm shave off the main shaft to see if that helps with the vibes. I've been out of heli mode for a while. What kind of damage came from your lawn mowing extravaganza?

I flew my T-28D and it did a hammerhead and then dove into the ground at full speed. I feel your pain.

Parkzone? I wanted a parkzone T-28 so bad a couple years ago, but never got one.

 

[hamz9561]

Yep, it's a Parkzone. It's the smallest one, but it does fly pretty well.

The ultra micros, I have a pole cat and p51. I like them.

The shave of the feathering shaft will fix that issue, and was a must when I went brushless. I've only flown a couple planes, but always wanted one, so maybe later this year.

Damage list;

Blades
main shaft
feathering shaft
snapped the tail boom in two right where it was pinned :whhooo:

I think that's it, it sounded incredible though. Like someone threw it out of a real heli from about 100ft.

Whap Whap Whap. I can only imagine. Just based on what something small like the mcpx sounds like when it crashes.

Got the spinner in today. She's coming along.
