Hubsan X4: Crash!

I used pink foam wall insulation board and made a "saucer" in which to embed the X4. That was not hard to do. It flew OK indoors but when I took it outside the inevitable and unavoidable wind here caught it and the aerodynamic forces seemed to make the gyro go nuts. It oscillated wildly and flipped into a wall. One of the motors got damaged beyond repair: the motor shaft got driven into the motor so hard the plastic end of the motor can cracked, splitting what appeared to be almost microscopic brushes. Impossible to repair that. I didn't want to throw it all away so I took the wreck apart and used the circuit board, battery, and the two "forward" motors to make a propulsion system for a balsa hand-launch glider. You can use differential thrust to make turns but the transmitter has to be held in reverse position, so that right stick on rudder gives the right turn. This puts the rudder and throttle stick on the right, and pulling the throttle stick BACK increases thrust. I don't think this thing will fly very well but I might put up a photo before I try to fly it. I will NOT be getting another quadcopter unless I can find something with protected blades. If you have a Hubsan X4, find a way to beef up the back end of the motor housing-- use epoxy or something. That part of the motor is vulnerable if you crash upside down on a hard surface!
