Default RE: Flyeagle Rafale Pipe failure

It would be wise and responsible to take corrective action if damage to any jet occurs via a wet start. If such is the case then aircraft should not be flown. I have gone out to the field and had problems less severe and scratched my flight, gone home and corrected the problem. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. We need to protect our hobby and as Bob Violet has stated before, " The safe operation of turbine powered model aircraft requires a higher level of experience in building, installation of equipment and flying than other types of R/C models. To enjoy our freedom, we must be ever vigilant, act responsibly, and demonstrate that we can govern ourselves. The AMA needs our help in this regard, so let us all know the AMA Safety Code and Turbine Waiver regulations and abide by them.
We have enjoyed our sport for many years with an excellent safety record.
