| Description: | Was great to fly! Unfortunately completely
destroyed on the third flight! The fatal crash was either
caused by a radio interference or by a possible receiver
battery overload due to a unproperly retracted landing
gear, which was exhausting the receiver battery. NEVER ever attempt to connect the retractable mechanical landing gear unit to the receiver battery!!! Resources: Manual, Product website |
The above picture has been taken just before the first flight. Fortunately, today's cameras have a short exposure time - so you can not see my hands trembling.
