I took up the Goblin 500, TRex 700 and my new Visionaire. Helis went well with no crashing. One slight moment of "oh no!" with the Gob 500. Optical illusion made me think it was pointed differently than it was (and the way I though it was). Let it keep going a bit and turned some yaw to verify orientation and was all good again.

Visionaire was a mixed experience. Mostly successful, but ended in a crash after an unexplained and unexpected roll to inverted about 10 ft off the ground. Check out my Visionaire thread for more info and to see if you know what might be going on.

Alas, no video. Like I said in an earlier post, I feel odd wearing the head rig while flying. Plus it was first flights of the season and was all nervous.

1 out of 8 isn't bad! Glad you found the funny side of it. I always tell spectators who are new to RC not to be surprised if I crash, lol.
If you cant laugh about it whats the point.

Well, I had one go down today. I took 8 models (heli's, planes, and my quad) flying today. The only one that crashed was the one that I was a plane that I was least concerned about. It was a scratch built speeder. The plane was a lot of fun. I've had over 20 flights on it. Very aerobatic, great glide slope, and it had about a 3-1 thrust to weight ratio, lol. But...I was just about to circle around for a landing and I think I lost an aileron servo because I banked over to the left and it just felt very lethargic. It rolled over HARD and was in an uncontrollable death spiral and then SLAM!!! I had 6 spectators with me and I was the only one laughing, lol. The expression on their faces was like someone just crashed a TDR, lol. The fuselage snapped, bent the motor mount, broke the prop and prop adapter, and the right aileron servo is locked and buzzes, lol. Anyway....I'll have to strip the electronics off this plane and move on. Here's a pic:

Dont know what happened? It was turning on its own when Cameron flew it as well? Initially i thought it was me but when you watch the video it just goes away? I am going to change the deadband yaw because other than that it was solid. Flying in Acro all the time and LOS:)
