Wait a minute. You just landed safely with a tail problem. When did this happen?  |

Daammm MC! WTF I was looking at my build yesterday trying to figure out the safest, best protected places for the electronics. You answered my question -- there is no place to hide ;D ;D |

I wouldn't say that.Absolutely all my electronics survived.
Just a wrecked TT drive,all 4 blades and bent main shaft.
I'll be flying it this weekend.Easy ;D
Oh,stripped main gear too.I fought it all the way in and never cut the motor.
Never give up ;D

That's torque tube drive X2, now. I don't imagine those are cheap, either. You'd better consider moving a bit closer to your supplier. ;D

Yup.$80 a pop.I don't need all of the parts though.
I rebuilt it last time for $10 with extra parts.They accumulate till I have an extra TT drive.
The torque tube,tail boom and front gears are all that broke so I'll have a spare tail gear(complete)and final drive(front).
A new boom support also comes as well as all the mounting hardware.
This is the kind of stuff I should be ordering for GP anyway.
This will also get all new bearings in the rear.
I guess this is how I do my regular maintenance.lol.

So did anyone find it yet?
Ok its the remote......does not have any sticks on it
How the heck you fly without sticks. No way you could punch those numbers that quick.

I would change Tx Ernie I mean really.
