Crash support group

[shadeyB]

Never take crashing too serious, we build - fly - crash for the love of the hobby if you cant afford to crash it - dont fly it hahahaha
the reason Glue and tape is available pilots is so that we can use our skills and imagination to get us back in the air.
i spend more time building and repairing than i do flying and thats with 5 years in the air
Love building, flying, crashing, repairing, just love it all especially the adrenaline when your thumbs do the stick dance on the radio and gain back control of your beloved aircraft smiling from ear to ear

Rookie mistake: had the timer set for a 1500mAh battery, was flying with a 1000. Ran out of juice over the water.

How is the water? I guess you went for a swim .

Lol nope. As this happens to me on a fairly regularly basis, I've developed an aircraft recovery tugboat. My son is the helmsman:

got this guy back in my newbie days. actually thought i had ordered the mini, so when this showed up i was a little surprised. regrettably i was new and had a lot of issues with setting up the thrust diff and the CG. it flew 3 times, all three ended in a crash. after the last it became a wall flower.

lately i have been looking at it thinking it need to be fixed and flown. so today i pulled it down and did some repairs.

just need to build a few power pods, steal some motors and esc's, and life should be good!

not sure why i waited so long.

laters,

me

i love my mini, it flies awesome. can't wait to get this back up and see how it does. both pods are built, 3D printing firewalls as we speak, and have robbed 2x C-pack motors from 2 other planes. they are supposed to be "swappable" right?

laters,

On mine too!

ready to fly...

i stole two C-pack 2215/09's from 2 other planes. swinging a 10x4.5 which barely misses the fuselage, i have some 8x4.5 on order. have twin 30A BLHeli ESC's, and plan to use a 3S-2200. it is nose heavy as it sits but i am thinking i should put some FPV on the tail which should be enough to balance it out.

plan to re-maiden on wednesday. cross fingers.

100mph mini corsair flew for 30 seconds. Needs a new cowl and power pod.

I flew the baby blender into a fence the other day, Thought I got lucky and had very little damage. Then I tried to fly it today and this happened in mid-air.

 

[mayan]

You all aren't alone I had some major damage done to two planes today, pictures later .

 

[bracesport]

@buzzbomb - I don't thick the iron will fix that one!

Those are fake shoe prints. Armstrong never landed on the moon, and neither did your plane. So there.
