well I took my 450 out yesterday to check it all over as its not been used in a while,
flew 3 mins then coming out of a piro stall turn, 3Gx decided it did not want to play any more, kicked the tail, 90 plus deg which I compensated but then it kicked it the other way roughly 180 deg which left me tail in loosing alt and I corrected wrong with elevator and lost to much alt,
Throttle hold and bang followed
damage
canopy
blades
main shaft
dfc arm
3 sets of servo gears
boom
main gear.
was selling this heli so I was oiling it up and getting it ready, just glad it happened to me not the new buyer, and sad that it happened in the first place, the question is now what I do with it next, have had offer for a part out from a friend, so might just cut my losses with it.
but one thing for sure never a 3gx going back on one of my birds
