3D abuse on a DP 330
 
I have a DP 330L w/ Brison 3.2. I have been very happy with it and it 3D's very well. I have slowly been increasing the abuse it gets and so far, it has been rock solid.

Has anyone pulled one of these apart in the air? I know of some cases of flutter, but those involved using the 2-56 pushrods. I am more interested in someone who has done a power on blender, full power walls, etc. Will it hold up and how much abuse have you doled out?

Hey,
I have one and it fell apart in mid air doing a trimming pass!
The fuse broke in the aft canopy area. I was able to land it. I think it stayed together because of the pull-pull cables for the rudd.&elev.held it together..I was only using a OS 1602stroke.
I'm still waiting for the replacement parts.i was told at the WRAM show 5-6weeks It's now almost May.

Peace out

LOL....

What caused the failure??? Trim passes aren't known to be extreme maneuvers.....

Sorry to hear that....
 
Sorry to hear about your plane. It sounds like something happened to it somewhere along the line to crack the fuse. I have put mine through A LOT more abuse than a simple trim pass. Hope you get a new one soon.

I'm telling you the truth!!! The canopy flew off,it flew by me and I noticed the tail wiggling I flew a lap and landed it.This thing flys great.To bad their service stinks!!!I only have about 1doz. flights.
Did anyone notice any Tiny-Tiny bugs when they recieved their plane? They were like a red color sorta like nat size..

bugs
 
Thats funny....I though I was the only one. Mine came with bugs in the box as well. I was working on mine last night for the first time and noticed the little things flying around. I just assumed they got in from outside some how but I'm sure now they came from the plane packaging.
