My mum's uncle spent 6 months building large scale b17 bomber (back in the 80s) He took it for its maiden flight on a sunny afternoon, as soon as it took flight there was a problem with the radio gear and it just took of gracefully into the sunset never to be seen again. It's a cruel hobby sometimes

I see what you were trying to do, and you did a pretty good job, but i think i would have set it down as soon as i had a problem. It was definitely the height that caused most of the damage.

It did look like an earlier set down would have been better, but that's with hindsight! I don't think it was a panic manoeuvre to climb, rather a conscious decision to buy more time. Unfortunate that an auto rotation wasn't ultimately possible, due to loss of swash plate control

my dad and me had a tail rotor malfunction once but not on a scale but 3D electric helicopter. he barely kept it in the air and when it was high enough he gave it too me. pitch, roll and collective were still working fine and i was actually able tobring it down relatively safely. only thing that got broken were the blades when it tipped over at the end when i turned of power to the motor. i wasnt able to use autorotation at the time so i jsut brough it down under power while basically stirring the right control stick on the remote like crazy. i wasnt able to use autorotation at the time since i wasnt sure how and was still learning it so i brought it down under power and i know how damn hard it is controlling a helicopter with absolutely no tail control. You had it much worse here and for what it´s worth. You did what you could with the limited control you had. Hope you can rebuild it.

You know, I've been flying helicopters since 93. Airplanes, maybe 15 years. I cannot count on both hands how many models I've taken up, and, either I was pushing my limits and trying to learn(aerobatics), someone ran into my model(happened a couple times over the years), or radio glitches(hasn't happened in years, but still). You have to take a deep breath, every time you put one in the air. Even for simple hovering. But the thing is: a model can be replaced, a person can't. Could have been worse, and for some, they've put them in the air, and, that was the last thing "they did". Models can be dangerous.. Especially helicopters, and their many moving parts.. Don't get me wrong, I empathize completely as a modeler, but also as a modeler who lost a Vario BO105 long ago, you have to keep it moving, and push on...

Interesting that this helicopter's main blades spin in the counter-clockwise direction, as viewed from top. That is opposite from most other RC helicopters that use clockwise direction. It looks like tail servo got jammed or, more likely, the linkage broke somewhere and so the heli lost anti-torque control. The nose was spinning hard right as expected given counter-clockwise main blade spin direction. Hope you can fix it.

Maybe going down instead of up after noticing something isn't right was a better choice... Rip😢

Hello Takers. So sad. I am so sorry for you. That is why i dont built Models that can sink or crash. I don't got the nerves to take such a complete loss.

Maybe a run on landing into that long grass while you still had enough forward speed to counteract the loss of tail rotor?

What you mean is a pedal off landing. That only works with manned helicopters. And only on a very smooth field without obstacles. A model helicopter cannot compensate for the torque of the main rotor by flying speed.

yes, and there were a few hours of flying.👍

Though easy to say in hindsight, you would have been better off getting it down when it was already low, and as soon as the problem occurred. Trying to gain altitude for an attempted autorotation, when there's already a major problem, was probably the worst thing you could've done. If it happened at height, then for sure attempt an auto. Either way, it's a shame it got destroyed. On another note, it's hard not to have the Airwolf theme music playing in your head whenever you see a nice scale Airwolf!😅

We're all wiser afterwards. I decided differently in that second. We'll never know whether your decision would have been better.

I have a question. First let me say, I am unfamiliar with flying these things. I tried an electric 250 class. I tried hard. I just don't have the feel, for it. Question: Would it have helped, to cut power, as it came down, to minimize damage, in the tall grass? 😁✌🖖 P.S.: Condolences, on your loss.

I was thinking the same thing. I have general knowledge but not pilot level knowledge. Sometimes pilots love to over complicate things (trust me I know a few) Instead of trying to be a hero he could have brought it down in a much more gentle, yet unconventional, way

I have been flying model helicopters for over 20 years and work with manned helicopters every day. 1) Tall grass is poison for model helicopters. 2) There are lots of people who talk smart. 3) Autorotation from a height of 10m at very low speed would most likely have resulted in a 1000 piece puzzle.

I had a favourite a yak18 it flew so well but I got home from work early decided to go fly (didn’t check the charge) got 1/2 through a Cuban eight it didn’t pull out nothing much left that day I nearly gave up model flying but a mate got me back into it.

I think that things like this can happen from time to time. We are all human and make mistakes. As long as we learn from our mistakes. My mistake was not checking the frames in the Airwolf again in time.

Thanks, unfortunately it didn't quite work. I underestimated the destructive vibrations.
