RC heli crashes - beginners, Loctite, setup and fire. 

Addicted as i am im happy to go through all this only with my Nano…2nd set of Main blades nothing Else broken in ~50 classical beginner landings Its all fun and Games until your wife gets your Amex

+jimmy D Look again.... that's a dude. Women don't fly helis, their small brains can't seems to grasp it.

I have to agree , it was amazing lol

***** What wrong with doing that?

***** Even if the straps fail to hold the battery, at the very least the canopy will prevent the battery from flying off and into the blades. I've seen it happen to many times especially when they're doing 3D.

Ah, arent the batteries velcroed to the body anyways?

Yes, but Velcro isn't a permanent fix. When the helicopter whips or thrust there's enough force to separate it. The bigger the battery the more force can be applied.

I see. I just have a small 200 SRX so I don't see the need. I just meant for like normal flying not 3d.

I torched my ESC, when my trex 500 fell into tall grass and I "forgot" to hit throttle hold switch. I was already "in shock" because I just tried to invert and forgot to flip "throttle up". So 2 x bad mistakes = burned out ESC. Good part, because it fell on very cushy tall grass no mechanical parts were broken. Main and rotor blades were perfectly intact.

@@trexinvert depending on the ESC, you may have wanted that to burn rather than just main blades and some servo arms

@@EbonySeraphim Nothing was planned, it just happened that way. I never made that mistake, again. From practice/experience you learn when you get into trouble to hit that throttle hold immediately. It can save a main gear, fly bar and possibly the main rotor.

+racefaceec90 Get instruction. Fly the simulator. Then fly the real thing with training gear. As soon as you can consistently take-off and land with zero horizontal speed, remove the training gear. Hover around, start doing figures of 8, gradually increasing their size until you are at times flying side-in one way and the other. Then fly circuits. About aerobatics and tricks: ALWAYS have a reserve move planned to get into a know orientation and get out of trouble when doing new stuff. And always do new stuff at three mistakes high.

what do you do when you land on concrete lipos burst on fire can't put the fire out electronics are already completely fucked regardless you have to learn to let it go let it go oh you got to let it go lol I am serious I would not risk 4th degree burns to the bone trying to pull the lipos out if your helies bursted into a big flame ball you would not risk your hands on those lipos because the heat from a lipo battery is over 1000 degrees would you ever touch 1000 degree blow torch I wouldn't it's as hot as gun powder

Heli pilots have accidents. Drone drivers do stupid, dangerous crap with no knowledge or understanding of what it takes to actually fly. Two totally different mindsets...

+koch Sorry to hear that. I know how it feels. Crashed my Logo 700 during the maiden flight...... Stupid mistake :-( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fhc6MrwITDY.html
