    LOL... Crash and I are spending a lot of time together lately. I had another crash today, with my TSA 600N Pro. I was doing stationary flips, and I ended up flying too close to the planet... :rolleyes:

    First two shots are of my mishap, and the one below is what the helicopter looked like 20 minutes after I put it in. All fixed up and flying again. You can`t keep me down for long @Crash Heligod ;)

      I'm impressed Geena! Seems like you learned machine repair from a NASCAR pit crew!

      LOL....damage was very minor...blades tail boom torque tube and boom supports. :) I`m pretty fast on the draw with the TH switch too, so I didn`t even strip a gear.

      I don't tend to have any minor crashes. They all seem to be re-kits. LOL

      Oh Dear.... Im so sorry @Geena..It was lovely to catch up again.. But there is a saying - when you fly to low : Crash will show! I could not resist just reaching up and grabbing the lovely TSA out of the sky. But I love the weather over there at the moment and I will visit many other pilots before I leave. Muah ha ha ha...

      Oh wow... Flying Low there for sure!... Its a minor cost for the progression obtained. Keep going @Geena, looking really really impressive... You find your limits through crashing and its never really that bad...Especially if you can fix it at the rate that you do!

      I should have known better, but MAN was is fun to watch the grass clippings fly up as the rotor wash blew them around. :D I just love to fly my helicopters, and I`m not scared of crashing. I learned early on that fear of crashing will hold you back, and prevent you from progressing. So the way I see it is...Fly it like you stole it, and when you put it in, go get a hair of the @Crash Heligod that bit you. Then go back to what you were doing before it went in. ;)

      Yup low is a blast, but crash hides in the grass, and pulls them helis in!

      Oh yes @William i think you are right.... You could even hear your Heli scream at the end when @Crash Heligod took his soul!. Very nice however you were pushing the low boundaries a bit :) . Just before the crash it looked as if you were creating crop circles!. Nevermind, the MiniP is pretty robust I wouldn't imagine too much damage there. Nice flight as well..

      Zero damage, I think Crash just grabbed it and then let go... I should have kept the camera rolling, I picked her up pulled the weeds out and finished the pack!

      I did video the rest of the pack, I took off the canopy to have a look at the belt, and the Jesus bolts.

      No doubt about the MiniP a real robust unit provided the frames are not broken. Like the way you jumped straight back in the saddle and tempted @Crash Heligod once again!... I think he must have moved on to the next flying field...
