This is what happens when you try a rolling circle underground!!!!


H9 Ultrastick 60
Magnum 91 rfs four stroke
Futaba radio gear.

Damage broke the muffler/head and will need to be replaced. Not bad considering the engine had to be dug out of the ground. The fuse could be rebuilt but it is 1.5 feet shorter at this time. One servo broke a gear.

Haha that picture is hilarious ( sorry). It looks like someone took a bat to the front end. My .40 sized one didn't fair so well, the whole thing was gone. But save what you have! I lost my .40 US on the 3rd flight due to a mechanical, so I bought a new one, saved the wreck. Well, a few dead sticks later (about 50 flights on the new one), I hit a soccer goal with the wing about 6 inches off the ground. Crushed an 8 inch area of the wing. I grabbed my hacksaw, and cut the exact same chunk out of my crashed wing. Slapped some epoxy on, you would be hard pressed today to find where the incident went. Sorry about your magnum also, I have the same one in the final phases of bench running now.

I have one of those in the box. Hope I don't turn it into a glider like yours. Heheee. Thanks for sharing with all of us.
