Default RE: Flyeagle Rafale Pipe failure

ORIGINAL: islandhobbies

Hey, anyone has a replacement tailpipe for the flyeagle 1/9 Rafale? mine failed only after the 7th flight. Burned a hole straight thru, almost lost the entire aircraft, that original tailpipe is CRAP, and lets not start on the crapy landing gear that bends just by taxi'ing.
Anyway, need a replacement tailpipe asap, new, used, original or otherwise.
regards, george
Hmmm....weird George, you sure you didn't have a wet/hot start that might have made the pipe glow orange a couple of flights before it failed? You positive? Hmmm.....odd.

This would coincidentally be the second of two airplanes that had a heat/failure with pipe or turbine for you in the same week.

Weird.

But I am sure if you had a bad wet/hot start you would have mentioned that in your original post above instead of just omitting that fact and blaming the manufacturer and pipe correct?

Because you agree it is important to be honest right?

Right.
