The remnants of a Raptor 50 after losing it while pulling out of a loop. He was in a full speed descent when it hit. Last I spoke with him, the pipe was the only salvage.
take care, dont step on the toes today that may be connected to the butt you have to kiss tomorrow!!
He hit the runway at full speed. It was just a loud thud followed by silence - pretty sureal. He replaced the heli completely with a 600N since it was re-kit time anyway.

Thats bad.Yo the green 3D paddles still look MINT! You should put them on the TRex600N as a reminder to never go full speed into a runway ever again...Sorry for the loss but that has to be the best post crash photo I have ever seen! Wish I could have been there to see the lawn dart hit the ground.
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
