| IrolleditoverinnormalIn the old planker days we use to have one word to explain the crash, "ipulledupinainvertedpass". Nower days my new word is "irolleditoverinnormal".
I rolled my raptor over in normal mode at eye level one day at the field and after the blade speed started to drop off, I tried to recover and wound up bouncing the thing off the ground wile it was going real fast backwards. when it hit it pitched one tail blade off and broke the PC link on the other and sprung up in the air about 40 feet. It started doing the death spin from hell and I then found out I had inadvertantly inhibited the throttle hold mode during some programing. Well at that point there was not much i could do.
Ill never do that again. More stock for the fence.
