| Got my raptor 50 upgrade sorted out, blades tracked, head flipped -- and it was running great. The tail wasn't the greatest 'cause I was running short blades, but I was really enjoying the power of the OS 50 + the MP. I was doing some inverted backwards flight down the field and just started pulling a backwards loop when boom! The helicopter exploded in the air, and it came down in a heap.
Damage:
- Blades, boom, tail case.
- Canopy standoffs are ripped away.
- Canopy smashed
- Landing gear broke
- Radio tray broke
- 9253 case is trashed, gears stripped.
- Few broken links.
Not really sure what happened in the air. One of the double links is gone altogether, perhaps that popped off?
See some pictures of the remains at here
Oh well, at least it wasn't my Fury! Debating whether I'll buy the upgrade parts to make it a V2... Opinions?
Regards, Matthew |
