Whatup everyone. As you guys have seen, I sent Nightmare on the ride of it's life, and it didn't end well. The helicopter with a dark canopy, was lost in the trees after flying too far away. At that time, something glitched and the tail spun around on me, and I couldn't tell what direction the helicopter was facing. After fighting it for what seemed like an eternity, I cut the throttle to save what I could, and just waited for the impact. And even though it was over 100' away, it sounded like a tree snapping in half when it hit lol.
I'm pretty sure the glitch was caused by the OrangeRx that I have on the helicopter. It's sitting right between the motor and ESC, the two most interference prone pieces of electronics on the heli. I think with the lack of shielding on the Rx, cause it to catch a glitch. So, I'm going to be totally redoing the helicopter.
You may have read that I have already gotten my parts for the 250. Way to go ReadyHeli! and I cheated a little and put the skids on it already. I just couldn't wait lol. It looked so sad just sitting there all broken and dipping down. But, they will be coming back off for wire management. I'm going to be moving the electronics around, and I'm going to try to get the Rx as far away from the other electronics as I can. This is easier said than done on a 250...
So, stay tuned as I rebuild Nightmare.
