Hmmmmm, you tore up a servo?

Let me guess, your first flight was in your living room and you hit a chair, sofa or lamp table. Or the ceiling, with a 8 foot free fall.

RADDS is a great way to learn but you have to have PATIENCE beyond what I'm capable of.

Well Patience is a Virtue!

The old saying practice makes perfect is not true...

Practice only makes PERMANENT, bad practice equal bad results, over and over again...

"Perfect practice makes perfect" is a more accurate statment.

Those are Blade 400 part numbers, aren't they. I know I picked up a couple of those parts yesterday.

break in

Not to worry, they always fly better after they're "broken" in

I've just got my HBKII in the air again after its first crash. Tail first dive, ouch. Don't know the part numbers, but main gear, spindle, flybar, servo gear, servo link, tail boom, tail boom support all replaced.

I think I'll hover for awhile and reflect on how long it takes to repair the little devils...
