dang. another weekend, another quad-disabling crash!
I got the vc out to a proper flying field this morning and after successfully flying it around at semi-fast speeds I tried to do a flip again and pretty much did the same thing. it arced beautifully into a a high speed upside down landing.
Both booms survived this time, but both of the delrin side panels broke along with 1 prop. So I've placed an order for rplacement delrin parts and I'm sitting here attempting to crazy glue these ones back together.
I really wish that ALL of the pieces that are currently plastic could be upgraded to aluminum. before this crash I had several of the small "tabs" break or otherwise lose their edges so that things slide around a bit if not entirely tight at all times. I realize that I need to stop crashing the thing but I feel like there is no need for any of these parts to be made out of plastic. the aluminum upgrade available does not include aluminum side plates or the accessories (small tabs that precision fit the side panes to the screws...
hopefully I'll have this thing reworking, whether via crazy glue or via the new parts delivered on time, by next weekend to give it another shot!
