What did you crash today

[Aireal Anarchist]

I just stuffed a 250 race quad in pig poop I was herding the beasts one got ornery, so I charged at him & didnt pull up fast enough, then the walk of shame to retrieve it, I swear it was like the pigs were laughing at me with their snorting in unison when I picked up the drone...luckily just 1ESC wire to re solder & one motor was jammed full of the good stuff, but flushed out easily enough

sometimes crashing is funny

Looky what I found in the local dollar tree

Wonder what I can do with that...........

happened yesterday but wasn't able to look at it until today. flight started fine, then just went haywire. pretty sure i lost the elevator servo and the rest is history. i don't think it's a loss, but it will take some work.

cross fingers, this was a fun little plane and i hate to loose it.

Haha, me and my buddy bought a couple of those a while back. I'll find some pics and post them when I get a chance. I'll just say we got two and attached them together...

Y'all realize the " what can I do with this" WAS rhetorical ? I mean like, DUH, make a rc glider with my 1.3 gram helicopter 3 channel stuff.

21" wingspan 1oz. 'Murican here.

This has nothing to do with what i flew or crashed today, but it is a little victory in crashing nonetheless. A long time ago, last summer I treed the Shrubsmacker. Way to high up to reach with a long stick or almost impossible to hit with a stone. There it stayed all winter slung on a branch only supported by the aileron servo wires with the fuse hanging on one side and the wing over the other side of the branch.

I took a walk into the ravine again a couple days ago and found the wing on the ground. From where i was i couldnt see the fuse anywhere, but i had the wing.

I hooked the servos up to a tester and as it turns out they are solid, both work just fine. This is excellent timing because these 5 g servos might work out for my bay doors on the B-25. Score 1 for me.

Heck yeah! That wing is looking a bit moldy. Is that dirt or worse?

What plane is that? I have a bunch of Emax 1306's laying around.

Heeeeeey! It's the crap Eflite ESC!

It can’t be - you tried two of the 4 and they didn’t work, but the third one did...

 

[The Hangar]

Oh yeah, and if the board is bad why were you trying to sell it to me??

Stripped the gears on my 230v2 heli, make one hell of a racket but it still gets in the air. I think I'm going to wait until the replacement arrives before flying anymore tho.
