Got the 600 all back together & set up. Changed the 15 tooth pinion to the 16 tooth. Should pick up the head speed a little & I want to see the difference it makes. Grandkids are here for the weekend so I don't know when I'll get to try it out, maybe Sunday afternoon. The weather is supposed to be good for the next few days as long as the wind behaves I'll be OK. Drev.

Our heat broke last night so it's comming your way. A line of storms passed thru just north of us but we got some badly needed rain. It cooled off about 10*F overnight. Really nice out now.

Had the 600 out today. Flew 4 batteries thru it. Flew OK (hovered around, slow forward flying). I think I like the little bit higher head speed from going up 1 tooth on the pinion. Brought her home in 1 piece so this is good yes? Drev.

I haven't made up a list of what it all needs yet but it looks like it'll be cheaper to get a bare bones 600 Chaos kit & start over. A 450 would be nice but I'm on a fixed income (except they never fix it) so I'll fix the 600 up with the parts I already have & figure out which is the cheapest way to get her back in the air, hopefully before the snow flies. Drev.

Truley F@&Ked it up today. Was going good & then it just took off on me. Could not regain control. Hit TH just before it went out of site. Took me half an hour to find it. What a "BUMMER". Don't have it torn down completely yet but it's probably a rekit. Looks like I'll just be crashing the MCPx for the rest of this summer. Have to start saving my pennies. Is that what TOCOed packs look like? I'm pissed!!! Drev. Man, when you go Drev, you certainly go big. Sorry to see that. Did you ever determine what happened?

When I finally found the "wreckage" the batteries were laying disconnected, burning inside the canopy. There was no real way to tell what caused it to loose control with what was left. I hit TH before the heli 'HIT' the ground with that stomach turning thump. I haven't hooked any electronics up yet but at least the servo gears don't feel stripped, broke 2 servo wheels, both sides of the frame, base plate, tail boom & torque tube, flybar, paddles,some head parts, boom supports,tail boom mount housing, main blades, skid pipes, canopy, main gear, tail gears. tail blades, & probably some sht I haven't taken apart yet. I have some of the parts here so the tab might not be to bad. I haven't made up a list & added it all up yet. We shall see.

Sorry to say Drev but that's what we call a rekit

Sorry Drev, hope you'll get it all sorted out and back in the air.

Sorry to hear that your 600 went in. From the carnage pics... It isn't too bad. I've piled em in hard.
Hope it gets back in the air soon.
