WOW, glad it didn't hit you Dave. Good notice though. Your misfortune is edgucating alot of people, including myself. I smashed my CP tonight. It was the last night for our club field, got kicked out because of noise, so some friends got to see it go down. Boy, when you hit the ground the last thing your thinking is idle down switch! My buddy shouted at me to turn it off which saved me from burning everything up. I was doing a loop,( cork screw), when I didn't have the altitude or skill to get it back upright and it went in side ways[:@] I just put a set of flat woodies on it and I found a bent shaft. It trashed the aero woodies that I had on it as well but that was it. I'd say it was a good 15 ft drop and thats all that broke[8D] I be heading to www.Hobby-Sports.com tomorrow to get some carbon blades and a new shaft. I think I'm done trying to go inverted with the CP. It really needs a head locking gyro, oh, and I need more skill
