This morning had just spooled my Hughes 300C, the unthinkable happen. It happen so fast I froze, my bird suddenly arched backwards on its head and hit the pavement. OUCH & DOUBLE OUCH!!!!!!!!!!! I lost that muscle memory function. Guess that's to be expected when you're in your golden years. Normally a person would invent a new language for such an event, but I kept my cool and processed it. Am real lucky the only things damaged were the carbon glass blades, fly bar rod and bubble canopy. Everything and I mean every else were AOK and working after I did a systems check. So as I'm rebuilding this bird will convert her back into a pod and boom helicopter. Still have my other scale birds that when flying will pay closer attention to. When I told my wife at breakfast and what I was going to do, her reply was "Good Training".
