Well,

Let me start off by telling a little tale about my raptor.... I was flying @ TUCSON at the TAS after hours, and I lost my collective.... I attributed it to a bad battery, so I switched over to FROMECO Li-ion. Today after the rebuild, I was out doing some heli huckin' and I figured after the re-build I would kind of warm her up slow, and just get it dialed in.... Well I flew around for a bit, did some piro circles, some inverted climb outs, and some fast backward flight... I took her up to test the bird out, and I went into an upright tic-toc.... I got through about 5 cycles of tic-tocs,,, and WHAMO !!!! NO COLLECTIVE AGAIN !!!!! FULL NEGATIVE TO MOTHER EARTH FROM ABOUT 80' UP !!!

This time I did it right.... ITS TOTALLED !!!! NO REBUILD ON THIS ONE !!!!

<--lame post

OUCH
so are you going to buy another one? or maybe something else?

sorry for the loss
did the battery make it ok?

Oh damn!!! thats pieces!! I thought my invert onto asphalt was bad... sorry for the loss man.

Picking up new TITAN tomorrow....

I fly with one of the main guys from TT so it makes it nice to fly TT because I mooch parts from him...

T

is it a total loss or did the gyro and servos and stuff make it out ok?

sorry for your loss man!!! that sucks!!!!

do you know what happend???? it sound like you went into fail safe,,,what RX were you flying??? JR or Futaba???

never thought about the failsafe, although It is set to go to idle If it goes failsafe, so I dont think it did.... ITs a JR rx 770 pcm. I sent Rx, Gyro, Tail servo, and Suspect collective servo to respective mfgrs for checkup and repair. On a scale of 1 to 10 on gear damage it got about a 6, on airframe damage it was a 10. Engine is OK a bit dirty but OK. MP II is Jacked, Lithium Batts OK, Reg OK, Other than the stripped gears in the servos (the 2 that were sent) I got out with pretty much the loss of an airframe. SO I was lucky there.... I wouldnt have been so lucky If I hit on asphalt/concrete guaranteed....

So the good news.... I have a NEW TITAN in possesion right NOW !! Im going to a heli funfly tomorrow, and shooting video, and pics so stay tuned... Will be back in the air when gear comes back, and I get a new pipe.... probably about a week and a half or so...

The thing we are all failing to appreciate is... The original post reminds us...

His dad had an awesome set of tools...I think ?? 🤔
