Sad to say right after this... I just had to take it up one more time...
Oh well... 3 crashes now out of about 30 or so flights... not so bad!

Thanks guys. Yea Greg, it is electric.. 22.2 volt 2500mAh 6 cell lithium polymer.
Only bad thing.... this is what it looked like 10 min after the camera was shut off.
Not too bad. I got it back together less rotor blades. I'll pick some up this afternoon. The canopy surviving three crashes now is developing come character.

Damn Forkin, I hope you drive that Ally better than you fly that bird.
I was young and bashful back then.
Today,...I'd just knock on her door,..hand her the crab dope, and say, "Rub summa this on ya booger. I'll be back day after tomorrow".

You need to put a camera on that thing so you can check on your special crops without walking there.
How long will it fly on a battery charge?

That sucks that it crashed, but it's fully rebuildable, right? One of these days I need to try flying one, but I know it takes a lot of practice. It looks like you've become really good at flying it too!

The man has skills. To learn to fly one of these things on your own and do what he's doing now is an accomplishment. Lets just say I'll stick with the coaxial.

You can get any part for it. If you look on the peg board you can see "TREX" parts bags hanging.
I'll pick up some new blades this afternoon.
I get about 8 minutes on a charge.
It is ready for new blades and a test run up... dial in hover and ready to crash again another day!
