So today I got my brand new Turnigy 9x. Excited and everythinig.
So I quickly started to work with my planes to get all of them into my model memory.
I was at tle last plane. The biggest one. 12x6 prop, DT750 motor.
I wanted to play around with flaps and test all these things because this plane had each servo for aileron. I turned on the receiver, with it on I copied the memory of another plane to this one so I wouldn't have to set the same settings again. I had a throttle hold switch on. So I thought I was safe. Little did I know, that my other plane had throttle channel reversed. Once I pressed copy - disaster happened. Motor spinning full throttle, Transmitter not reacting to throttle change (remember I had the throttle hold on - reversed it's full throttle), propeller bashing very quickly into a wooden shelf. Its good that it was there otherwise it would have hit me. Quickly unplugged the batterie. Wooho I'm ok. Propeller smashed and everything... But then I turn my hand around...
I'm lucky it was just that. A small cut. But it could have been much more serious.
Here's what's left out of the propeller:
SO it's lesson learned: Don't copy models with 9x when the model is plugged in. Oh and yeah I guess TAKE THE PROPELLER OFF THE PLANE... It's worth taking a minute to do that. Believe me
