CRASH!!!

I guess I got a little ahead of myself and had my first crash yesterday. I got to where I could hover out a battery over the weekend so I decided to start working on some side in hovers. I obviously wasn't quite ready for that. It got away from me a little bit and I probably could have recovered it except that it was coming straight at me. When those spinning blades are coming for your head you kind of loose your concentration. I actually started running as my heli went sideways into the drive way.

I broke the center hub, lost the retaining pin, probably bent the main shaft and I need another set of blades. My wife is not going to be happy about the bill at the hobby shop! Oh well... I'll let you know the grand total after I head over there this afternoon. Until then keep the spinning side up!
