Well ... as some of you might have read, I had a topic in the spectrum tx section due to something I thought was an error with my model setup on my DX6i. As I couldn't get my Blade 450 3D to lift, it kept turning, and tilting when given throttle... so ... after going back to the store and let them take a look at the heli and the tx setup .. it turned out that there was an wiring error on the heli itself. I left it there and they would get a heli expert to take a look at it.
Well .. the next day they called me, telling me that they had fixed the wiring, tuned up and resetup the model on the tx, and they had taken it out for a perfect test flight.
Cool thing.. My turn
Took it home, recharged and finally went to do the maiden flight.
It started out with some shaking vibration .. and kept turning the rudder around, wrong way according to the tx. Went into the setup and saw that the reverse settings was wrong according to the manual. Well.
Fixed the rudder, and checked the swash according to the book. All good.
Again .. more throttle. and the heli stopped vibrating so much .. I kept a little pressure on the rudder so it stopped spinning. Slowly gained up to about 65% throttle, and the heli lifted up, turned into a backflip, and sideway crashed into the ground. Broke the blades, flybar, rudder blades and canopie!
Not bad for the first flight. At least I was airborne for about 1-2 seconds.....
I will on monday go back to the store, and get new parts, and hopefully get an explanation regarding the takeoff, straight into a vertical flight, and then back flipping into the ground, only by using the throttlestick ... /sigh
Wish me luck for the next flight...
