Here is that same night flying video just from one of the guys standing at the back using his phone to record. The video came out pretty good you can see it much better than the video from the gopro and agin it looks cool viewing my flight from a different perspective:

Haha I know

. I always like viewing my flights from someone else perspective just because it looks so different to what I am used to if that makes any sense.

Well we all screw up from time to time. However still not sure if I dumb thumbed it, or if the servo arm let go or if the vbar had a little sad haha. I am sure as the heli dived towards the earth surface I pulled full back and got no response by that time there was nothing I could do except freeze up as my mind prepared me for what was coming next

She was a good heli. It was all fun and games until she had a sudden unforeseen impact with the ground however a rebuilt is most certainly in order. She will fly again another day. How soon though haha well that is I guess the only question left

edit also there is a beautiful chicken dance going on at the end as I realized oh crap I should prob hit throttle hold.

Here is my KSE 700 final flight video for a little while

Enjoy

It's sucks.. But it happens unfortunately. Build, fly, crash, repeat!

Nooooooooooooo:( Unlucky Damon:( Re-Kit?

I guess on the bright side, it could have been worse if it ended up in that pond.

Yeah very true

Graham Lawrie wrote:Nooooooooooooo:( Unlucky Damon:( Re-Kit?

Haha yeah just a little bit. Umm Possibly but most likely not since the main frame survived. The replacement part cost is about 75% that of the kit price so we shall see.

Sorry to see it man...

Ouch. Man that sucks.

You were putting a thrashing on that thing. Probably was its way of saying "uncle".

What rx or sats were you using with that Neo? Or you using a vcontrol?

Well it has been a pretty good week. Hope everyone else has been having a great week

. Managed to get Goblin 700KSE rebuilt and she flies again

!! Also finally got another vbar neo for my 500 sport. So now 3 of my helis have been converted. Only one more left

Here is a photo of the newly rebuilt KSE

And here is the flight video (took it fairly easy haha):

And here is my second flight with the neo on the 500 sport:

And here is one of the many flights I have done with the neo on the 380 KSE:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sXTGtElqb8

Also all of my helis that are currently running the vbar neo also have the current/voltage sensor installed in them as I like to now flight on capacity used. Also making use of the Battery Saver feature that is available through the Vcontrol.

Nice one Damon:) good to see the 700 back in action:) great vids as always:)

Post by **pvolcko** » Thu Jun 09, 2016 12:29 pm

Back up and flying with the KSE! Nice! Looking good. Def needed that headspeed tweak on bank 2.

Kickedd7371 · Post by **Kickedd7371** » Sat Jun 18, 2016 12:55 pm

Little Lost For words but umm Yeah.....

RIP Goblin 700 KSE June 2016 - I won't be rebuilding possibly (Video was removed and re-uploaded and changed to private; May explain why later and depending on the situation outcome may be reinstated).
https://youtu.be/Fo4eG_iKv2c

Copy from my YouTube video's description:
"Unfortunately the boom pulled out and went into the blades and it was all over for the beloved heli of mine. Won't be rebuilding it as I just rebuilt it 20 flights ago and it is way to expensive part wise. I can say It was heaps of fun to own one and they fly beautifully and sound hectic but absolutely destroys the wallet when things go wrong."
