| I can empathize!My XL Pro came very close to a similar demise. Fortunately for me, a planker had a small extinguisher handy. Only had to replace the tail servo wire, struts, and fan shroud. I was the luckiest guy at the field that day.
My canopy still has carbon on it. My friends and I fondly call it "The BBQ special"....
Strange sequence of events... Nitro pipe silicone coupler popped off, muffler touched the fuel tank burning a hole in it. It was a hot, dry day. I landed on dry grass which was ignited by the hot muffler. The grass ignited the fuel ignited the heli... Pretty exciting stuff!
Hey man, why does my lipo get bigger every time I charge it? |
