Hi
today my rappy meets the lawn the first time.... :( during low level piroflips the blades cut off the tail behind the horizontal fin(with red dampners plus all shims)...it was about 10 ft high and inverted, and began to spin faster and faster ...the only thing i could do, switch throttle hold and see how it hitīs mother earth.... as i reached the wreckage i figured that the throttle lever on the carb broke off, but luckily it shuts the engine off instead of going to full throttle, so no chicken dance :)
damage : flybar, spindle, boom and driveshaft, one O-link, canopy, blades,
ripped off backplate from GY 601 controlbox, small dent in one of the rx lipo cellīs :arggg: about 200$ plus carbon extreme dampners :wink:
