Well after more success with the Hawksky and a repaired Bearcat, I found more confidence to give it another go today. The flight proved fatal in my opinion. I won't get into too much detail, but it behaved erratically from the second it left the ground. Despite the CG being correct on my balancer (3600 all the way forward), I'm not sure what went wrong. Regardless, fuse is destroyed, hatch, wings blown up. I'd have to replace nearly everything ($100+ in parts). As much as I'd love to tinker, I'd imagine tearing out all the wiring, servos, gear, etc would be a giant pain when I could just get a new bird for another $100. My question is, when do just pull the plug versus rebuilding the dead?
And fyi, I'll be halting the overeager warbird flying for a while and will be investing in another newb plane to get more experience and learn less the hard way.....
