Raptor 60 Crashed Again
Loading...
Uploaded by JlerchTampa on May 13, 2008
Uncommanded elevator resulting in back flips and spectacular crash damage. The damn elevator control arm bolt came unscrewed. Clearly I need to learn how to use locktite (I thought I knew how, but I seem to keep failing..)
Of my 5 major crashes with this bird, ONE has been me dumb thumbing it under controlled flight into terrain.. The other 4 have been:
1) Glitchy elevator servo, with crappy landing.
2) Loss of rudder control from failed servo or linkage system
3) Loss of rudder control from pin falling out of drive gear.
4) Engine failure in flight
If this wasn't soo much fun, I'd quite and walk away!

OUCH! How much for repair?

That one was above average due to the engine damage. My average is $300 / crash, this one required another $100 or so.
On the plus side, I seem to have gotten over the hump with regards to my ability to avoid "unscheduled landings" So, I got that going for me :)
Another positive, this RC hobby is the most enjoyable thing I've done with my clothes on. However, if there was a nudist flying club, It might be the most enjoyable thing EVER.. :-)
