Holy cow that spinner was mangled. Poor carbon prop. Any video of the spinner failing?

holy cow!!! that rudder servo was a TONEGAWA SEIKO!!! that company makes servos for UAV's! the ps-050 has over 900 oz/in torque!!! my 50cc yak rudder servo has only 287 oz/in torque (to put it in perspective!) That is seriously impressive!!!

@rik281 Yeah we all know that panic button, It hits hard. Haha he flew it well to the ground after the deadstick.
