Not bad, but I wish I would have taken pictures of my 600N Pro after it hit. Total damage was $485, new kit was $499....guess what route I went? lol. The main frame looked like somebody took a sawsall to the frame right above the fuel tank straight to the radio tray. The tail case was launched about 100ft. The engine went sailing past my head (about 2 inches from my ear) and ended up 50ft from the impact site. Funny enough though, all electronics survived. I did have to buy a new Hatori as the header was twisted almost 45 degrees.

I fly.....because I can.

Am I the only one that finds it ironic that all the nitro guys are always bashing on electrics for being such a fire risk when crashed, yet out of the first two melted heli's shown in the crash thread, neither is electric...? (and yes I read that the first one was a gasser, not nitro)

Girard Ibanez's Rapter and Ray Nemovi's Avant after they midaired here in LV. Ray's Avant won.

As far as crashes go, midair's ROCK.

This is how my Raptor 50 ended up after a crash..(lockout with revolution whip antenna). Made a very nice divot in the grass field.
And the other is "waipahe's" R30 after it crashes perfectly into a chain link fence.
