    DH 9053 - Broke 2 canopies, 1 landing skid, blade slap from 30 feet up.

    DH 9117 - 1 Tail Boom. Gyro went bad in air & spun wildy. I stepped on it once it hit the ground to stop it and broke the boom.

    V929 - 1 Boom, 1 Motor Housing, 1 motor. Right when I get things working, the motor stops...

    S107G - 1 flybar.

    Let's see..... If I could add an extra digit to both my hands, then we can at least start to count!
    Dynam Vortex M100 (needs repair)
    Double Horse 9118 (needs repair)
    Tarot 450 Pro 3D (scared as hell of needing repairing)
    Icarus told me I could...

    Trex 550E fbl. 2 crashes. The first was caused by the FBL controller freaking out, and the second was due to a main gear stripping while doing a flip.

    Trex 500 fbl. No crashes!

    450 clone fbl. 2 crashes. The first was due to a tail control link breaking in flight. This caused the bird to spin with wild abandon, and during the course of this issue, managed to get inverted. The second crash was due to dumb thumbs while attempting an inverted hover. When the helicopter hit the ground, it bounced two or three feet into the air. If you're going to crash, do it with authority!
    Mark the apprentice pilot.

    Blade msr, Tarot 450 FBL, Trex 500E FBL, Rush 700,
    IOM, Soling 50 (RC Sailboats)

    Glad to hear you had yours out... it's a fun little helicopter!

    Yup, I've had 6 flights so far today... came WAY too close to some stuff in the garage, but didn't actually hit anything. (blades were spinning within 2" of the leaf rake when I set it down)
