Synergy E7 SE Video (and crash)

[flyalan]

I got my first flights in on the new Synergy E7 SE last weekend and loved it.  I had yet to try videoing myself flying so I broke down and bought a GoPro Hero 3 yesterday. 
The first flight today went very well but I unfortunately forgot to hit record 
The second flight was going well right up until the point I lost orientation and dumb thumbed it in.  I did get some good video of that though.  I did edit/crop this video to make it a bit easier to see.  Not too bad for my first attempt.
The SE needs only blades, main shaft and a new canopy.  Again not too bad!


Cheers
Alan

Really sorry you had that mishap.  Thanks for sharing the video.  Hope you get it back in the air soon.

Way to take one for the team by being the first to crash an E7SE, Alan!

[Greg Jackson]

I am sure there were some crashed SEs during the development phase. Sorry that happened Alan.
Is your feathering shaft alright?

[flyalan]

Well the damage was as follows:
Head axle
Main shaft
Tail boom but not the TT
Servo wheels x2
Tail output shaft
Tail rotor hub
Main blades (696)
Canopy :-(

It is now repaired and ready for the weekend!

Cheers

Major bummer on the canopy.   Sorry man...

Well fortunately Matt has the SE canopies now:-)

I've been sticking one in my cart pretty much every day to see if they're in yet, LOL.

What about the E5 canopies?!
