Rotary Wing;

Syma S107, my first RC aircraft ever, which I recieved for Christmas 2010. This was the spark that ignited a fire, more of an explosion really...

KDS 450S with dealer installed Flymentor.
I crashed this heli a few times before figuring out that the Flymentor must have been set up with no wind. It would hold position, but as soon as position sensing was lost or I tried to move it, the wind would grab it and make it uncontrollable. I bent the airframe badly in its last crash, and destroyed 2 of the 4 servos.

One of my favorites, but high...Continue Reading
