RC-Hangout

Yesterdays flights in new fields caused some minor damage:)

And more.........

The tail survived intact, damage = main gear, landing skid,blades, pretty good if you had seen the speed it hit the fence at:)

I take it you didn't know the fence was there?

Ooops. That's one thing I do not like about the goblins. The skids break way too easy, and they are flippin' expensive. Wonder if a set made from light gauge aluminum would work and still retain the energy absorbing intent. Bend em back and you're good to go.

I was surprised to see the amount of lead and foam inside them:)

oooo not good

Ruff day!

In the blades (re lead and foam)? Yeah, CF blades are always hollow core except for very small sizes (like for micro helis). Lead weights in the leading edge out toward the end of the blade. Usually with some kind of steel cable wrapping the root eyelet and molded right into the lead weight, so it doesn't go flying off if the blade suffers a catastrophic failure (mechanical or impact).

I digs it!

Lol, that was a good one.

I saw the goblin explode in slow motion, lol. It was a really good fun flight and I flew it more like the 380 so the crash didn't bother me as much, good to get the first one out the way on the 700.
I saw the fence Paul but was just too low and rolled into it lol.

Should be flying again by the weekend.

Mayday Mayday!!!! I'm going in

Nah Lee think it was more like Whoops a daisies where did that come from,

Reminds me of my time with Lee, 3 birds down then.... What does the title word mean?

It's the name of the farm:)

It translates as "Narrow of the Dogs" it used to be a crossing point at low tides to heard cattle across
