Looks fixable to me, just throw some $$$$$ at it and it will be fine

 

[KenOlvis]

I feel your pain sir.

 

[Scott Miller]

look like you may have scared the earth with that crash!

 

[Bill Gibson]

I feel your pain!! Years ago my buddy gave me a T-shirt with a picture of an r/c plane all busted up....above the wreck the caption said "If yer gonna FLY don't CRY"!

I just resurrected an old Hirobo Shuttle 30ZX back to flying condition, and I gotta tell ya, I FORGOT how much work goes into getting a nitro CP heli flyin compared to an electric FP heli!! WHEW!

A couple of signature tag lines from some guys over on RCU "takeoff is optional, landing is not" & "all our planes come with an expiration date, you just don't know when it is". That does suck, helicopters aren't cheap.

Hate it just as much as those pesky bouys that jump in front of my boats.......

 

[Bill Gibson]

YEAH...ME TOO.....whats up with that anyway???

 

[Robert Pickard]

Bill that will happen to yours if you fly it inside Judy will shoot it down

 

[Joey Jones]

Thanks for the laughs, guys.

Truth be told, I flew a bit outside of my abilities...a few years ago...no worries. Now, not so much.

I was at the end (the ground side) of about a 300' tail-slide...decided.."man, I'm kicking it this weekend...I'll roll, and recover inverted, yeah cool!". Well, it was cool, in my mind, but I severely misjudged the speed and inertia that machine had going (It's a .90 sized model...about 12-13 pounds). It didn't stand a chance. Too low of an attempted recovery...upside down or not!

I've had a new kit in the box for a while (for this very occasion), now it's just a week of building/trimming. It can wait for now.... I've got a D-Tunnel to work on first.

No kidding!?!?! Wow..does it have the Original Enya .35 in it? That was one smooth motor....You've got a fine machine there. Those Shuttles taught a many of folk how to beat the air to submission!

 

[Bill Gibson]

Yes it did Joey! It ran great (more power than an O.S. .32) but it had a weak point.....a tiny square key on the crankshaft was the PTO for the clutch which as you know im sure, transmitted power to EVERYTHING! So after a coupla years I stuck an O.C. 32 in it! Always a good motor! Ill let you know how the REMAIDEN goes.....id be happy just to hover it!
