Dumb Thumb

Of all Dumb Thumbs.... After I started my 600N on the 6th flight of the day I took it out to the field set it down backed up and spooled it up (The usual right) well after lift off and switching to stunt at about a foot off the ground I noticed that I had left the ignightor on. My eyes zoomed in on it and for some reason I pulled the stick down to much and to fast The skid broke and blades began beating the ground....I don't know why i did that crap because I've never ever been that dumb to pull the stick back like that....

DUMB THUMB... arrrrgg!!!!

Re: Dumb Thumb

I know...nothing beats it

Was messing with my Predato about 3 months after I first got it...had some gyro issues...was checking it out by hovering about and pointed it nose in...and it went to ****...started going forwards..what did I do?

pushed the cyclic forwards as well...man was I cursing my life and parentage...luckily the damage was slight and the canopy was ok beacuse I left it off to make any adjustments easier.
