Default RE: Dangers of Lipo's

I will post a picture of what I did to my F3A last Saturday I was doing a one roll rolling circle around the gym and clipped the tip of the wing on a post. Breaking the fues off right behind the wing. It looked much worse than it was the nose on my shockys almost never break because of the carbon rod bracing that I do. ( they never did up until the other day) My dad managed to break his well it didn’t break the nose too too much... One of the carbon rods slipped through the motor mount and then it crushed the wing back where the rods attach to the landing gear and leading edge... This thing hit hard though I mean really hard he kept flying it with half of the elevator gone and the nose only being held on with the carbon rods the foam was broken free.... (indoor mid airs nearly claim another)
