Crashed? Discussion and Photos > 50V2 -- First crash a night...

A little over 3 flights on my new MS night blades... now that really sucks. I was using the black XCell paddles... one of them turned sideways in flight after some consecutive rolls... couldn't recover -- it just kept losing altitude so I hit the ol' hold switch before it went into the tall stuff -- besides my new 150 dollar blades, just bent the spindle and flybar. Guess I'll get on Ron Lund's site and order some more night blades... I'm way too addicted to this night flying ever since the Snohomish funfly (special thanks to Mike Scoles and company).

Colin,

Sorry to hear you dumped your bird and those night blades are precious....bummer.

I had a crash on my Fury Extreme and had a spare Raptor 60 flybar laying around so instead of paying 12 bucks for a replacement MA I opted to use what I had.

Well the threads on the Raptor flybar are fine threads and the MA is coarse. One of my white MA 3D paddles apparently stripped and in flight after doing some aerobatics I noticed my paddle disc looked odd in flight. It really didn't get out of shape but it didn't fly as well as it should. I brought it down and one paddle had rotated upward a good 45 degrees.

I was surprised this didn't have a more adverse effect on the Fury... so I am a bit surprised that you lost yours due to the same problem. This just happened to me two weeks ago..

I was flying last weekend when I noticed my Fury do some wierd pitch down in FFF. I brought it back immediately and upon checking it over noticed one of the paddles had come loose. Check those paddles!
