Yeah I didn't realize how close until I saw the video. The bird is back together already flow her 3 or 4 times. Did some upgrades after that crash. Had just put new motor and speed controller on. Now it also has 3 new metal cyclic servos.

Yeah that last decision was the wrong one for sure.

Glad to here that you got her back together again :) I was thinking about getting another motor for mine :? What motor did you end up getting? I already got a new Hobbywing 100a esc. I know it's a over kill but it was cheaper then the 80a :o

No need to be sorry Ken. I'm window shopping at the moment. Yup, I thought you might have the Align 500MX. I'm thinking about that one my self. Everything is on hold til I figure out why D6 gen2 TX is doing funky stuff. I might have to get a TX first :cry:
