20090327 Raptor 50 Missing Jesus Bolt

I just rebuilt this Raptor 50 after buying it used, and even though I thought I checked everything twice, I missed the fact that the upper Jesus Bolt was missing! I was very lucky nobody was hurt, and only a couple broken links. A very important lesson learned cheaply.

what i found so funny is how you were looking up to find the the head.

There are so many things that WILL go wrong during learning to fly R/C helis, and you know they are all potentially fatal. But this is just plain stupidity. The lead weights inside the main blades are bonafide projectiles when "let loose" Once, they hit the inside of my carhood (by chance it was opened...12 volts...) so the windscreen was saved! A minor "reversed" dent was the result.

has anyone been decapitated by rc before ? i know it is real easy to get killed by them but ya just wondering ? after reading this i began to wonder a little bit ?

[indylite500]

if you wee standing above that it would take a good chunk of your head off.. scary shit ! and i found it funny where you were more worried about finding your rotor assembly than your raptor :D was any damage done to the blades ?
