What when wrong here.....in a 6 foot hover when suddenly I heard a bang and engine dies. Short drop into the deck with a heavy landing but no strucural damage. On inspection of the cause the inner core of the OS 8 plug had exploded away from its casing and shot into the front of the canopy. Any ideas anybody

OS #8?

That sounds weird,

I have heard of the plug being ejected when they come loose,but, I have never heard of a core separating. So the threaded part was still there? -----Weird.
