Hi all, well I hate to say it but my flying season has come to an abrupt end. I had a mishap which blew me away... I took off in 3D mode to see if the upgrades were very noticable. I lined up and did a back flip, after that I somehow switched to normal mode and this is what really bothers me cause I did another back flip only to watch the Raven tumble out of the sky... the last input I had was full negative collective. At the time I thought I had got disoriented but when I came to the wreck, the engine was idling. The heli landed on it's left side wrecking the muffler, bending the frame a good 3/4 of an inch, skid legs broke and the usual crash kit parts.
I got the fly bar and frames straightened and had the main shaft and feathering shaft in parts. The tail gear disintergrated and the drive shaft had a slight bend.
Had a very good season with a total of 126 flights 7 gallons of fuel and 4 crashes.
Jim,
