First the hub that the prop ruberbands to came off the drive shaft while hovering in HobbyTown's asphalt parking lot. Splat. Damn. John was kind enough to make me a deal on foam safe CA
Then friday morning, I was flying in my backyard and the whole drive shaft came out of the gearbox and i sorta glided into a cherry tree (good catch tree!). John Wondra kindly climbed the tree to retreive it 
And yes, I sortof deadsticked John's TopCap and sorta hit a little hard... [

theres a new vid of my shockflyer on www.3drc.info ... nothing spectacular to some of the shocks around, but i made the big mistake of using 16g servos, i cna honestly say that every gram helps!

it fliers ok but you can only get about 30 secodns hover before it needs a short break... that's the problem... also the tail is twisting so much the knife egde turns are almost impossible in a hurry... you use elevator and it juast screws out... i'll sort that out on my nerw one though.
Did you notice i accidnelty included the saem clip 3 tiems in that video? lol
The hall is our local ice rink... costs £120 for a few hours.

55 is .13. That's way faster than your JR digis
I wouldn't put 50s in it. They're kinda low on torque. 55s are .28 ounces. Gramify that.
30 seconds??? Whaaaaaaaa? I fly 4.5 minutes of hovering with only a few seconds out of that to get all screwed up and reenter...
