Hi there, heard a story just the other day of a Guy who lives locally. He had a Nexus 30 SS which is the same as my first heli...so I have a fondness for this heli.

I think the Guy dusted his Nexus and went to go fly.

It went up.....and up....and up...and up....up and away. It never came back.

Last seen as a tiny dot which was getting smaller, the wind was a light westerly...the Town is on the east side of east Falkland...so it might well have come down in the South Atlantic.

Its funny in a way, but really sad as well....maybe a fitting end?

Sounds like the RX battery was down, could well have been. Its worth checking out failsafes thats for sure.

It would have been neat to find out how high it went...and where it came down. My Nexus could easily run for 20 mins on a tank..this was using an MDS 38..a rubbish engine to some...but matched the Nexus really well.
