SR RTF

Maiden Flight

Sunday (2010-07-11) was the maiden flight of my Blade SR which resulted in a crash (shocking!).  Kellie and I went to the back entrance to Mercer County Park.  The flight lasted all of about 5 seconds.  I achieved about 10 feet of altitude when the SR banked hard right into the ground.  I'm not entirely sure the stock radio is set correctly - more likely I panicked.  The only damage appears to have been the main rotor blades, although the rudder blades have some grass stains ;)

Z&Z had some blades, so the SR is ready to go again...
