Almost crashed the 550E Today
07-07-2013
Out at the field flying my T-Rex 550E today, and having a great time. When I got ahead of myself while doing low to the ground rainbows. I got way too low, and dug the tail blades into the ground Which thankfully, was soft and muddy from the frequent rain storms we have been getting here. When the tail hit the ground, I thought GREAT! Here we go...time for a forced auto. To my surprise, the helicopter stayed in the air...so I kept flying.
If not for the soggy and muddy flying field, it could have been ugly.
