| i had a mavrikk woodie blade shoot out of a raptor 50 when i was tuning the headspeed and it scared the crap out of me! sounded like a gun shot went off and then the other blade that was still attached to the heli swung around and cut the boom off and smacked the canopy a coupld times.. the main shaft was almost at a 90 degree angle and there wasnt much left of the heli afterwards... talk about a total rebuild... and it was a brand new 50 at the time.
i was tuning the head rpm to 1550 (normal mode) and the blade failed! never again will i try mavrikk woodies, except for stirring paint.
i dont have pics but im sure someone here has some good ones...
