This plane was modeled after the "Experimental Airlines Noob Tube". The difference was that I put the wing on the underside of the plane, instead of the top. I've had over 20 flights with this plane and I believe the cause of the crash was the right aileron servo gave out. I was going to strip the electronics off the plane and move on but after looking at the damage closer...I spent about 20 minutes repairing the plane. A new servo, a bit of hot glue, a few gift cards (for reinforcement), a bit of green Duck Tape.....and the plane is repaired and ready for more action.

Yep....it happens. I had 6-7 crashes through 2014. This was crash number 1 for 2015, lol. But....like I said...this plane has been repaired and is ready for more action.

Re: Flight and crash of the Lil Green Speeder
It really was a good day of flying. A crash is bound to happen when a servo goes out, lol. The servo has been replaced and the plane has been repaired. We'll see this plane again.Vipertech13 wrote:If you ain't crashing you ain't fly'n

Re: Flight and crash of the Lil Green Speeder
"A long lapse???" Yeah...the flybable weather sure did take its time getting here, this year. I've been on the sim quite a lot this year and I'm sure that my heli flights will reflect my sim time.Tony wrote:Short but sweet Derek.... Awesome to see you flying again after such a long lapse....
As for this flight...definitely short and sweet, lol. Prior to the crash, it was flying quite well. I went to circle around and it just went down. I did get the plane repaired after about 20 minutes and it's ready for my next day off....next week.

Re: Flight and crash of the Lil Green Speeder
Your flying time is certainly suffering from all these work hours... But. No work, no play....

Re: Flight and crash of the Lil Green Speeder
Yeah, all this work is definitely interfering with my flying. Hopefully all this mandated overtime will pass soon.
